Reply To: Question concerning Opening Type-form Indicator
Although the Nemeth Code does not specifically say that the type-form indicators cannot stand alone on a line, note that example (4) on page 40 (Sec.33.a) illustrates this practice since the opening boldface indicator begins on a new line even though there is space for it on the preceding line. In my experience, we have always moved at least one word to the next line so that the closing type-form indicator is not on a line by itself. I've checked with the rest of the committee, and they are in agreement with this practise.
