CHAPTER 9: ITALICS & OTHER TYPE TREATMENTS 103 When adding the italic style to a quoted reference or text, or block quote for emphasis, the writer or editor should add the following: ■ " [my italics], [author's italics], or [italics added] after the italicized word or words in the quoted material, or [my emphasis] or [emphasis added] when the italicizing is the only style imposed for emphasis the same words as above, but in parentheses within the respective footnote or endnote appearing at the end of the quoted material Italics are also employed to highlight or introduce terms or expressions. " The term khatam literally means seal. In British English, honour is spelled with a u, but American English spells it without the u. That group of muftis are called the qaḍā experts. Foreign terms are italicized unless they are proper names. Italics in Titles Italics are used for titles of books, periodicals, documentaries, and TV/Radio shows. We subscribe to the Muslim Sunrise every year. (Note that the the is excluded from the italicized title for periodicals, but it is included when it's the first word in a book title. )
