  • End-Of-Line Hyphenation of Chemical Names (IUPAC Provisional
    Pure Appl. Chem. 2020; aop IUPAC Recommendations Albert J. Dijkstra*, Karl-Heinz Hellwich, Richard M. Hartshorn, Jan Reedijk and Erik Szabó End-of-line hyphenation of chemical names (IUPAC Provisional Recommendations) https://doi.org/10.1515/pac-2019-1005 Received October 16, 2019; accepted January 21, 2020 Abstract: Chemical names and in particular systematic chemical names can be so long that, when a manu- script is printed, they have to be hyphenated/divided at the end of a line. Many systematic names already contain hyphens, but sometimes not in a suitable division position. In some cases, using these hyphens as end-of-line divisions can lead to illogical divisions in print, as can also happen when hyphens are added arbi- trarily without considering the ‘chemical’ context. The present document provides recommendations and guidelines for authors of chemical manuscripts, their publishers and editors, on where to divide chemical names at the end of a line and instructions on how to avoid these names being divided at illogical places as often suggested by desk dictionaries. Instead, readability and chemical sense should prevail when authors insert optional hyphens. Accordingly, the software used to convert electronic manuscripts to print can now be programmed to avoid illogical end-of-line hyphenation and thereby save the author much time and annoy- ance when proofreading. The recommendations also allow readers of the printed article to determine which end-of-line hyphens are an integral part of the name and should not be deleted when ‘undividing’ the name. These recommendations may also prove useful in languages other than English.

  • Studia Theodisca
    Essential (typographic) rules for Studia austriaca and Studia theodisca (irrespective of the language used in the essay) • Send plain text emails, please! DOCs and images only as attachments, thank you! • No PDFs, please! Only MS Word compatible DOCs. • All essays should be accompanied by a short abstract in English (about 500-600 char- acters, including spaces). • Avoid using ‘black’ as your font colour; use ‘automatic’ instead. • Do not insert backgrounds (coloured or otherwise) in your text. • Words should NOT be hyphenated. • Except in special cases authorized by the editor, titles and quotations should be given in the original language, normally without translations. • Work titles should be italicized. • Block quotation paragraphs should always be indented both on the left and on the right, so as to make their format clearly different from that of normal paragraphs. The quota- tions in these paragraphs should NOT be opened and closed by quotation marks intro- duced by the author of the essay. • When quoting lines of poetry, insert a manual line break (“Shift+Enter”) after each line instead of using “Enter”, which should be inserted only after the last line of poetry. • Manual page breaks, column breaks and section breaks should never be used. They will be automatically removed in the formatting process. To display text in two or more columns insert it in a table. • The use of different types of quotation marks should follow these rules: single quotation marks (‘…’ or '...') to emphasize specific words or expressions; double quotation marks (“…” or "...") to enclose quotations. In the final formatting process, double quotation marks will become angle quotation marks («...»); single quotation marks will become double quotation marks (“…”).

  • Vol. 123 Style Sheet
    THE YALE LAW JOURNAL VOLUME 123 STYLE SHEET The Yale Law Journal follows The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation (19th ed. 2010) for citation form and the Chicago Manual of Style (16th ed. 2010) for stylistic matters not addressed by The Bluebook. For the rare situations in which neither of these works covers a particular stylistic matter, we refer to the Government Printing Office (GPO) Style Manual (30th ed. 2008). The Journal’s official reference dictionary is Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, Eleventh Edition. The text of the dictionary is available at www.m-w.com. This Style Sheet codifies Journal-specific guidelines that take precedence over these sources. Rules 1-21 clarify and supplement the citation rules set out in The Bluebook. Rule 22 focuses on recurring matters of style. Rule 1 SR 1.1 String Citations in Textual Sentences 1.1.1 (a)—When parts of a string citation are grammatically integrated into a textual sentence in a footnote (as opposed to being citation clauses or citation sentences grammatically separate from the textual sentence): ● Use semicolons to separate the citations from one another; ● Use an “and” to separate the penultimate and last citations, even where there are only two citations; ● Use textual explanations instead of parenthetical explanations; and ● Do not italicize the signals or the “and.” For example: For further discussion of this issue, see, for example, State v. Gounagias, 153 P. 9, 15 (Wash. 1915), which describes provocation; State v. Stonehouse, 555 P. 772, 779 (Wash. 1907), which lists excuses; and WENDY BROWN & JOHN BLACK, STATES OF INJURY: POWER AND FREEDOM 34 (1995), which examines harm.

  • Punctuation Guide
    Punctuation guide 1. The uses of punctuation Punctuation is an art, not a science, and a sentence can often be punctuated correctly in more than one way. It may also vary according to style: formal academic prose, for instance, might make more use of colons, semicolons, and brackets and less of full stops, commas, and dashes than conversational or journalistic prose. But there are some conventions you will need to follow if you are to write clear and elegant English. In earlier periods of English, punctuation was often used rhetorically—that is, to represent the rhythms of the speaking voice. The main function of modern English punctuation, however, is logical: it is used to make clear the grammatical structure of the sentence, linking or separating groups of ideas and distinguishing what is important in the sentence from what is subordinate. It can also be used to break up a long sentence into more manageable units, but this may only be done where a logical break occurs; Jane Austen's sentence ‗No one who had ever seen Catherine Morland in her infancy, would ever have supposed her born to be a heroine‘ would now lose its comma, since there is no logical break between subject and verb (compare: ‗No one would have supposed …‘). 2. The main stops and their functions The full stop, exclamation mark, and question mark are used to mark off separate sentences. Within the sentence, the colon (:) and semicolon (;) are stronger marks of division than the comma, brackets, and the dash. Properly used, the stops can be a very effective method of marking off the divisions and subdivisions of your argument; misused, they can make it barely intelligible, as in this example: ‗Donne starts the poem by poking fun at the Petrarchan convention; the belief that one's mistress's scorn could make one physically ill, he carries this one step further…‘.

  • Working with Ranges and Wildcard
    Using Ranges and Wildcards in Market Insight Text variables can be identified in the System Explorer because they have an ABC icon to the left of the variable name. When searching for a business by name Ranges and Wildcards will be helpful to identify unknown characters or spaces using the wildcards of: * and ?. It is important to use both the business and the tradestyle name when searching for a business. The reason is because the name you are searching for could be in either the business name or the tradestyle. We will use Adobe in our examples and the variables of: Business Name variable ( ) and Tradestyle Name ( ). 1. The following will match business names that are *exactly the same as [each character must be the same as] the search name criteria. Our match string would look as such: =”Adobe” This example will return only businesses with names having the exact same 5 characters will match – i.e. “Adobe”, but not “Adobe Ltd” 1 * Or you can use the Exact Match option in the same drop down and it will return the same results: 2. The asterisk symbol, *, is used to stand for any number of characters [zero or one or multiple]. If we use the root word of Adobe and then an asterik this will return names that *begin with Adobe. The string would as follows: =”Adobe*” 2 This example will match “Adobe” (in this case the * is matching zero characters) and “Adobe Ltd” (in this case the * is matching 4 characters, “ Ltd”) * Or you can use the Begins With option in the same drop down and it will return the same results: 3.

  • Punctuation: Program 8-- the Semicolon, Colon, and Dash
    C a p t i o n e d M e d i a P r o g r a m #9994 PUNCTUATION: PROGRAM 8-- THE SEMICOLON, COLON, AND DASH FILMS FOR THE HUMANITIES & SCIENCES, 2000 Grade Level: 8-13+ 22 mins. DESCRIPTION How does a writer use a semicolon, colon, or dash? A semicolon is a bridge that joins two independent clauses with the same basic idea or joins phrases in a series. To elaborate a sentence with further information, use a colon to imply “and here it is!” The dash has no specific rules for use; it generally introduces some dramatic element into the sentence or interrupts its smooth flow. Clear examples given. ACADEMIC STANDARDS Subject Area: Language Arts–Writing • Standard: Uses grammatical and mechanical conventions in written compositions Benchmark: Uses conventions of punctuation in written compositions (e.g., uses commas with nonrestrictive clauses and contrasting expressions, uses quotation marks with ending punctuation, uses colons before extended quotations, uses hyphens for compound adjectives, uses semicolons between independent clauses, uses dashes to break continuity of thought) (See INSTRUCTIONAL GOALS 1-4.) INSTRUCTIONAL GOALS 1. To explain the proper use of a semicolon to combine independent clauses and in lists with commas. 2. To show the correct use of colons for combining information and in sentence fragments. 3. To illustrate the use of a dash in sentences. 4. To show some misuses of the semicolon, colon, and dash. BACKGROUND INFORMATION The semicolon, colon, and dash are among the punctuation marks most neglected by students and, sad to say, teachers. However, professional writers—and proficient writers in business—use them all to good effect.
