    Good afternoon,

    Example: Fig. P10.22 and P10.23

    When transcribing an abbreviation that includes more than one related number, as in the example above, should we keep both numbers on the same line as the abbreviation if possible or divide between lines at the and?

    Thank you!

    Hi Tonya.

    Nemeth format rules require that the abbreviation "Fig." and "P10.22" stay together on the same line, even in UEB context. However, because "and" is a connecting word which is not itself part of the abbreviation, the line can wrap either before or after the word.
