 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 "emphasis added". From a print disability point of view, many of those italics are unnecessary and present a barrier to readability. But I hesitate to change the author's intention of highlighting parts of the quote, especially since they've typed "emphasis added" in the endnote. Are the rules about when to apply emphasis style and when not to different in this situation? If I do remove the italics, do I also delete the "emphasis added" from the endnote? Q: I have a question about italics in quotes.

-**Q: My book has a block quote which consists of a brief (three item) timeline. Should this be marked as a block quote? Or as Definition Terms/data?**

-A: Good question. We can use a blockquote as they're extracts from his letters. I don't think using a Definitions list would be appropriate in this case as it might just unnecessarily complicate navigation. The main purpose of marking text up as lists is to aid navigation of the content (make it easier to jump through items, and find your way through items).
