    I'm confused on capitalization and termination in Nemeth.
    One reference says the "double capitalization indicator" extends to all letters which follow. A symbol other than a letter terminates its effect.

    Another reference says the "double capitalization indicator" extends to all of the letters which follow. A symbol other than a letter or a hyphen terminates its effect.
    Thank you

    In [u]abbreviations[/u] and Roman numerals, the effect of a double capitalization indicator extends to all the letters that follow, but a symbol other than a letter terminates its effect. In abbreviations, the double cap would end at a hyphen. Rule III sec. 22b

    This rule does not apply to hyphenated compound words. The effectiveness of the double cap would extend through the hyphen. Could you cite the reference that says "a symbol other than a letter or a hyphen terminates its effect"?

    It was in one of the recent NBA bulletins. I didn't mark down which one it was.
