Titles: Capitalise first word only
IN AUTUMN 2019 EDITION OF THE MAG WE ULTIMATELY USED
Double quotation marks (in most cases, e.g. ); except:
Single
quotation marks when: it’s a quotation within a quotation, or it’s the
name of a section of the magazine (‘People,’ ‘On-trend’), or the name of
a book, publication or work of theatre etc,
Italics for German words and titles.
Sometimes,
where it makes sense, we've used an English translation (and either
german in brackets or vice versa depending on the case).
- Where we've used German words they should be in italics. - Titles of
works (books etc) should be in italics, but if you would rather use
quotations that is fine also. Single or double is fine, different style
guides give different advice so it is really up to you.
- Titles of
sections in the mag, for example, should be in quotation marks (I got
this wrong in the latest Editorial, please do change 'People' and
'On-trend' to quotation marks instead of italics) Apologies for any
inconsistencies
- We basically used this style guide,
https://ec.europa.eu/info/sites/info/files/styleguide_english_dgt_en.pdf
but I can see we had some inconsistencies re: single or double
quotations, either is really fine but you are right it should be
consistent. (They can all be single, per this style guide, for example)
