    I trying my best to learn the new formatting principals. Rule 5.3.8 (page 5-7) states "Ignore font attributes used to indicate quoted material enclosed in quotation marks." Why were the italics retained in Sample 4-4 (page 4-19)?

    Sample 4-4 contains two errors. The italics should have been omitted and the displayed passage should have a left margin at cell 3. The heading is properly in cell 7.

    Thanks for the info. Is there a list of other errors in the book?

    I have a list of corrections to be made. It needs some fine tuning and it is up to the BANA Publications committee to decide when and if it will be published.
