Emphasis<\/span><\/h5>\n\n- Use italics alone for emphasis. Do not use bold or underlining or a combination of these formats.<\/span>
\nEg, We should oppose such a development with any legal means possible.<\/em><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nFootnotes<\/span><\/h5>\n\n- Avoid footnotes (and citations) for more fluent reading. Incorporate all necessary information into the body of your article.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Greek and Hebrew<\/span><\/h5>\n\n- Transliterate and italicise Greek and Hebrew words. Also italicise words in other non-English languages, eg, German, French and Latin.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Lists<\/span><\/h5>\n\n- If you have a collection of items or ideas, list them for easier reading.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
- Prefer bullet points unless the order is important, then number simply, eg,
\n1. Alpha
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>2. Beta
\n3. Gamma<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n- Capitalise each bullet point. <\/span>If your bullet points are full sentences, end each with a period. If they are not, skip the period.<\/span><\/li>\n
- There’s no need for an “and” at the end of the second to last point. Keep it simple.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Obliques or slashes<\/span><\/h5>\n\n- Except in fractions, avoid using this between alternatives, eg,
\nand\/or<\/span>
\nstill\/sparkling\/tap.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n- Pick either and<\/em> or\u00a0or<\/em>, and write lists the usual way, eg,
\nstill, sparkling or tap.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nNames, honorifics, and abbreviations<\/span><\/h5>\n\n- No full stops, eg,<\/span>
\nRev Dr Edwin Tay, not Rev. Dr. Edwin Tay
\nDTh, not D. Th
\nPhD, not Ph. D
\n<\/span>Mr Mistoffelees, not Mr. Mistoffelees.<\/span><\/li>\n- Cite a current student\u2019s name like this: Mr Gilbert Lok, MDiv 3.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Cite an alumnus\u2019 name like this: Ps Daniel Lee Kong Leong (BD 2015).<\/span><\/li>\n
- Cite in full at the first mention in the article, eg,<\/span>
\nRev Dr Edwin Tay<\/span>
\nand just the honorific and surname in subsequent mentions, eg,<\/span>
\nRev Dr Tay.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nNumbers<\/span><\/h5>\n\n- Spell out whole number words for one to ten; use figures for numbers above ten.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Numbering in articles<\/span><\/h5>\n\n- Should you need to number questions, main points, etc in your article, choose a simple, clean 1. 2. 3.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Consider using bullets to list as an alternative to numbers.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Pull quotes<\/span><\/h5>\n\n- There’s no need to enclose your suggested pull quote in quotation marks.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Should you choose to start your pull quote mid-sentence, use an ellipsis (\u2026) with no space before your quote.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Should you end your pull quote mid-sentence, end with an ellipsis.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Punctuation<\/span><\/h5>\n\n- No space before and just one space after punctuation marks except for dashes (no space before or after).<\/span><\/li>\n
- Abhor double spaces after a full stop\u2013respect the design of the typographer.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Quotation marks<\/span><\/h5>\n\n- Use double quotation marks, eg, for direct speech, quotes, Bible verses, poems, names of articles, names of short stories, chapter titles, or to highlight a word or phrase.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Use single quotation marks for a quote within a quote.
\nEg, \u201cWhen I say \u2018immediately,\u2019 I mean some time before August,\u201d said the manager.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n- Place the comma or full stop outside<\/strong> the quotation marks for incomplete<\/strong> sentences, phrases and words. <\/span><\/li>\n
- But if the punctuation comes at the end of a complete<\/strong> sentence, put the punctuation inside<\/strong> the quotation marks.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Omi<\/span>t the period inside the quotation\u2014even though the quoted text is a complete sentence\u2014if it’s followed by a parenthetical citation,<\/span>
\nEg, \u201c…I remember you upon my bed and meditate on you in the watches of the night\u201d (Psalm 63:5\u20136).<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/li>\n- The exception to this punctuation omission is when the quote ends with a question mark or exclamation point that\u2019s part of the original,<\/span>
\nEg, He yelled, \u201cThis changes everything!\u201d (Klein, 2014).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n- Prefer the typographer\u2019s or curly apostrophe (\u2019) and quotes (\u2018\u2019 \u201c\u201d) over straight or vertical quotes which are a legacy from the days of typewriters. They just look smarter and more professional.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
