Zárójelek, idézőjelek

Szia!

Ha jól emlékszem, te kérted a botosoktól, hogy a zárójeleket is kurziválják a művek címénél. Bár nem tudom, ezt miért így kell csinálni (biztos érdekes téma lenne, de nem ezért írtam), hanem, hogy megkérdezzem, hogy az idézőjelek is kurziválandóak? Például a Bánkuti András képaláírásánál? Köszi előre is. Hungarikusz Firkász ^{Ide írkássz!} 2019. január 6., 12:26 (CET)

Üdv! Az a tipográfiai szokvány, hogy az érintkező írásjelek követik azt, amivel érintkeznek, tehát félkövér szó után a vessző is félkövér, kurzív szó után és előtt a tapadó zárójel is kurzív, idézőjel stb. Zárójelnél az a szokvány, hogy ha a teljes tartalma kurzív, akkor maguk a zárójelek is. Ha csak egy része, akkor többféle megoldás létezik, általában az a döntő, ami túlsúlyban van, tehát pl. egy hosszas zárójelben ha egyetlen szó kurzív, és az nem is érintkezik a zárójellel, nyilván nem lesz a zj kurzív. Féloldalas megoldás kizárt, tehát olyan nincs, hogy a nyitó zárójel kurzív, a párja meg antikva, ők együtt mozognak. Bennó^fogadó 2019. január 6., 18:56 (CET)

Uff, uff! – Pagony ^foxhole 2019. január 6., 18:58 (CET)

Felettébb kimerítő válasz, köszönöm! Hungarikusz Firkász ^{Ide írkássz!} 2019. január 6., 19:02 (CET)
