    Hello
    I am transcribing a 5th grade Science book. Vocabulary words are highlighted in yellow, however there are also purple words and phrases in purple. Will i italicize these? or do they mean something i am not seeing and need some other form of emphasis?
    thank you

    Are these purple words previously introduced vocabulary words? Are they words that appear in the glossary? Or is the purple just showing emphasis? If there is a special significance to the purple, you will need to devise something to represent this (like angle brackets). Otherwise, I would suggest just using literary italics.

    Good Morning
    It seems to me that the purple wording goes with the box (and sometimes with a picture) on that page (and other pages). They are not vocabulary words... the yellow words coincide with the glossary. I think that the purple words may mean something... do you agree?

    It's hard for me to make a recommendation without having more of the text to look at. However, based on the page you sent, I think that literary italics would be appropriate.
