7.4.1When division at a linebreak is necessary following the solidus
(forward slash), do not insert a hyphen. |
7.5.1In the majority of cases, a question mark does not require a grade 1
symbol indicator; however, be mindful of the situations covered in
Rules 7.5.2 to 7.5.4 below. |
7.5.2Place a grade 1 symbol indicator before a question mark which
appears in a position where it would be read as the wordsign "his" or
where it would be read as an opening one-cell (nonspecific) quotation
mark. |
7.5.3Place a grade 1 symbol indicator before a question mark which is
"standing alone". |
7.5.4Place a grade 1 symbol indicator before a question mark which
follows a space, hyphen or dash. Any of the punctuation and
indicator symbols listed in 2.6.2 of Section 2, Terminology and
General Rules, may intervene between the space, hyphen or dash
and the question mark. |
7.6.2For secondary or inner quotation marks (that is those other than the
predominant quotation marks in the text), use the specific two-cell
symbols. |
7.6.3A pair of opening and closing quotation marks should match. For
example, when a specific opening quotation mark is required, then
the specific closing symbol is also used. |
7.6.4When an opening nonspecific quotation mark would be read as the
wordsign "his", use the appropriate specific quotation mark instead. |
7.6.5Use one-cell (nonspecific) quotation marks when apostrophes are
used as the predominant quotation marks in print. Use specific single
quotation marks when apostrophes are used as the secondary or
inner quotation marks in print. However, when in doubt as to
whether a mark is an apostrophe or a single quotation mark, treat it
as an apostrophe. |
7.6.7If the opening one-cell (nonspecific) quotation mark appears in grade
1 mode, it will be read as a question mark. To avoid this, place the
one-cell opening quotation mark before rather than after any grade 1
indicator. If this isn't possible, use the appropriate specific quotation
mark. |
