210. If any title contains [ ] or ( ) omit them, using commas instead.

One sign should never be used to express two things, if that can be

avoided; each should have one definite meaning. Also alter — into , or

; or . as the context may require.

211. Use italics for the words _See_ or _See also_ in references, _In_

and _In his_ in analytical, and for _Same_, _Note_, _Contents_, and

_Namely_, and for _etc._ when used to indicate omission of part of the

title, also for subdivisions of subjects (as _France_, _History_).

212. In long _Contents_ make the division of the volumes plain either

by heavy-faced volume-numbers or by giving each volume a separate

paragraph.

Anyone will recoil from the labor of looking through a long undivided

mass of small type; moreover the reader ought to be able to determine

at once in what volume any article whose title he is reading is

contained. {83}
