Asterisk attached to italicized work

[Michael Gunner]

Hello,

Is it necessary to insert an italics terminator before the asterisk when the asterisk immediately follows the emphasized word? Example Learning,*

Thank you,

Mike

Hi Mike,

Follow print as much as possible. If you can tell that the emphasis does not carry through the asterisk (or number or letter superscript), then a terminator would be required. If you can tell that the emphasis does carry through asterisk (or number or letter superscript), then no terminator is needed. If in doubt, choose one way or the other and be consistent.

Regards,

Julie
