[edit] Italicize named Codices??
Fellow editors: When typing the name of a Codex, e.g. Codex Rios, should I italicize it (e.g. Codex Rios)?? I see that the convention on the Codex article is "No", but I thought I'd ask as I've seen it italicized elsewhere in Wikipedia. Curiously yours, Madman 02:16, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Italics within italicised sentences
Some sentences are generally written all in italics on Wikipedia, such as
- Main article: Dog
What happens when the words within those sentences are meant to be in italics? Should it be:
- Main article: Escherichia coli, or
- Main article: Escherichia coli

- In books, when italics are italicized, they are generally reset, so I would say:
-
-
- Main article: Escherichia coli
