Just to follow up on this point, I went to the bookstore to try and come up with the examples you're referring to. I leafed through several editions of various Harry Potter books without really finding much of any usage of italics and/or obliqued text. The nearest thing I could find was the use of emoji-style exclamation points: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-archive/2013May/att-0031/harry-potter-exclamation.jpg Is this what you were thinking of? Anyways, it would be helpful to have copies of the examples you're talking about. Cheers, John Daggett
