Hi Otto, Unless I'm misunderstanding CMOS (i.e. american style), comma would indeed be *inside* quotes, when we are actually "using" quotes, i.e. quoting text, or quotes are a part of a boot title itself. Here, however, quotes are used *instead of* italics to represent the book title itself, so, i.e. in print, they wouldn't be present at all. The below is a bibliographical reference (of sorts) so the comma should merely separate the book title from the publisher. Unfortunately, the finer details of CMOS are behind a paywall so I can't confirm that categorically. Chances are, I might be wrong, though. In which case, I'd appreciate pointing me to the source :^) Cheers, Raf > > > > > Regards, > > > > Raf > > > > Index: bin/ed/README > > =================================================================== > > RCS file: /cvs/src/bin/ed/README,v > > retrieving revision 1.5 > > diff -u -p -r1.5 README > > --- bin/ed/README 15 Jun 2018 08:46:24 -0000 1.5 > > +++ bin/ed/README 17 Nov 2019 08:29:14 -0000 > > @@ -16,4 +16,4 @@ The ./test directory contains regression > > file in that directory explains how to run these. > > > > For a description of the ed algorithm, see Kernighan and Plauger's book > > -"Software Tools in Pascal," Addison-Wesley, 1981. > > +"Software Tools in Pascal", Addison-Wesley, 1981. > >
