Hi Joanna,
EBAE Rule II.10.b clearly states the rules for Double Italics, and how to close them. But I need some clarity regarding the Font Attribute rule (5.4.1) in regards of Double Bold and Double Bold Italics. When are Double Bold and Double Bold Italics used versus Single and how do you close such an arrangement? I'm attaching a page from the textbook. Thank you!

Hi Beth,
Thank you for sending the print page. I'm not sure what you are asking here. You refer to double italics and how to close them. Are you asking how to close double bold and double bold italics? Secion 5.4 gives several examples of various combination of italics and boldface that show opening and closing. Perhaps it would help if you indicate which specific text on your print example page you are questioning and we can figure out how to do it.

Yes, how do you close double bold or double bold italics, such as with the phrases in the first two sentences at the top of that example page? Do I use a single bold/on the last word as in italics, OR the termination indicator, (6, 3), preceded and followed by a blank cell, as with underlining?

I did not read the Formats section carefully and asked for help. Look at all of Section 5 very carefully. Most of the material in this section is new. Bold italics is treated in sections 5.1-5.4 especially. Look at the examples.
Section 5.1.4 lists new symbols to be used for multiple attributes. Notice the double bold italics indicator, 46,456,46,46. This is the double indicator to use that indicates BOTH italics and bold in a series of 4 or more words. The closing indicator is a single italic, followed by a single bold.
Here is your first series of 4 or more bold italics words:
After I finished my work,
._..,AF ,I F9I%$ MY ._."W1
See Section 5.4 for various combinations of italics and boldface. An entire series of 4 or more words in both bold and italics is not shown in examples, but the double bold italics indicator addresses that situation. Closing is done by using each closing symbol for the type of emphasis being closed.
Other types of font atttibutes, such as colored type, underlining, highlighting and so forth use the termination indicator and are handled entirely differently. This entire section on font attributes needs to be studied as it is being used, especially for the first times. Almost all of the material in it is new.
