Typeform terminators

[Melissa Caldwell]

Hello,

I know this is covered in RUEB 9.7.2 and 9.7.3 and that it gives examples but is there a way to get more clarification? My question is where to place typeform terminators? For this book I have differing views from different people on where the typeforms should end. Would they end before or after the punctuation? Does the typeform terminator always come at the end of a title of a book, newspaper, or play and before the punctuation unless the punctuation is actually part of the title? Or does it come after the punctuation for ease of reading? I'm including some examples from the book. Where would you place the terminators?

Thank you!

Melissa

For what it is worth, one way I think about this situation is "How can I be most consistent [in a world where print is notoriously inconsistent]?" For me, that usually means the following 3 things:

Always let punctuation be included in the effect of a typeform word indicator.

When a typeform terminator is needed at the end of a "typeformed" passage, put the terminator after punctuation UNLESS what's "typeformed" is a title (because titles are really specific serieses of words, which do not include ending punctuation).

Try my best while also knowing that my proofreading and or audience will have a different perspective and will likely find at least one typeform application that should be changed.

 

So, I would apply the typeforms as illustrated in the following pictures (also in the attached BRF).

Hi Kyle,

Thank you for your response.

For some reason I cannot see your images and I also don't find a BRF attachment. Would you send those again?

Thanks!

Sorry for the delay. I converted the images to PDFs, maybe that will do the trick.
