+ | Q: I have a question about French dialogue for the book Société des grands fonds. For French dialogue, they often forego quotation marks and instead use em dashes at the beginning of each line of dialogue, which make it look more like a list. Here's an example from chapter 10 of this book: | ||

+ | — Un hot dog patate, ça fait longtemps que j’ai pas mangé ça… | ||
+ | |||
+ | — Pourquoi tu penses à ça ? | ||
+ | |||
+ | — Ben, t’es venu ben loin pour manger un hot dog. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Am I okay to leave it as is? | ||
+ | |||
+ | A: Yes. We only reformat, and this would be an edit. We aim to keep the reformatted book as close to the original as possible. | ||

+ | Q: Question regarding formatting quotes. In the Hanging of Angelique there are a number of block quotes taken from newspapers and journals. In the etext some of the quotes have the date formatted to be a part of the block quote, whereas others appear to have the date formatted in a way that appears it is intended to be outside of the block quote. Just to clarify, should I apply the quote style to all of the dates so they are consistent? Or apply the quote style only to the dates that appear to be a part of the block quote? | ||

+ | A: Great question. In this case, it is best to be consistent. | ||

Q: I have a question about italics in quotes. In the book I'm working on, the author has compiled an extensive list of quotes from other sources but then gone in and added italics to many sections of the quotes. Sometimes just a few words at a time but other times, entire sentences and even paragraphs are italicized. Almost always, the endnote for the quote then includes the phrase " | Q: I have a question about italics in quotes.
