I've never put them in brackets or parentheses, although I can understand the logic behind it, to distinguish from an ellipsis already existing at the source. There are some skilled proofreaders who browse this blog; perhaps one of them can answer that for you.<br /><br />Also I do use boldface to highlight text for emphasis and for speed-reading by the TL;DR crowd, and I don't typically specify that the boldface is mine. I think all the regular readers here recognize it as a style feature, but it could me misunderstood by the arriving-by-Google one-timer.<br /><br />In this particular case, I removed from my embed the three university affiliations of the four authors.

I was taught this at some point in my education and it makes sense to me. It's probably one of those thing that can be done both ways, but I was curious what your thoughts were.Legal Eaglenoreply@blogger.com
