No italics for titles of long religious works #28

Open acabal opened 7 years ago

See https://standardebooks.dev/contribute/typography "Names and titles: Italicize or quote?"

We have to remove italics on long religious works. I've already seen "Genesis" italicized and a few others in the endnotes. (They also don't need double quotes, long religious works can be set without either.)

I may need some more guidance here. What counts as a "long religious work"?

There are a whole lot of these sorts of things in the endnotes. Maybe you could decide where to draw the line as you look the endnotes over for style per issue #33.

Things like the Torah, Bible books, Genesis, Proverbs, etc., are "religious texts" i.e. "holy books". Books written by people about religion, like City of Guid, or commentary on a Torah, get normal italicization/quoting rules--they are not "holy books" but rather books about holy books/religion.

I'm not enough up on Hebrew scripture to know where they draw the line between holy books and less-holy works & commentaries on holy books. I've deitalicized the books of the bible anyway.
