Let's use http://vrici.lojban.org/~rlpowell/media/public/cll_prince_2015-08-31.pdf as the reference.

Example 2.18 Lojban: italic, emphasis: bold Glossing: bold English: normal roman

Within English text Lojban text is usually italic.

This indeed looks like there is some formalization. Any other ideas?

lagleki commented 9 years ago

Table 9.3 doesn't follow the convention above.

lagleki commented 9 years ago

This convention makes English glossing wide and thus taking a lot of space. Consider changing to Lojban is bold, Glossing is italic or normal.

This is what we're doing; if there's a further action item here I don't see it.

lagleki commented 9 years ago

mostly any Lojban text should be wrapped in a certain tag and a single css style is to be applied to this text throughout the whole CLL.

To the best of my knowledge this is, in fact, the case, except for in the section-start tables where it seemed like italics would just be kind of silly (since it's obvious what's Lojban in that case).

To the best of my knowledge this is, in fact, the case

depends. E.g. section 1.11 starts with The following cmavo are discussed in this section: ce'u KOhA abstraction focus

and ce'u isn't in italic.

, except for in the section-start tables where it seemed like italics would

just be kind of silly (since it's obvious what's Lojban in that case).

Yes, that's exactly what I said; re-read my comment, please. If you feel that such tables should also be italicized, say so and why.
