Quick question:

[vanilla_bean213]

How do references to acts and scenes relate to quotation marks?

Is it "And thus did Sean continue in his search/ For the assignment sheet that would have helped (MMV.xlii.310-311)"

or

"I quote the book of knowledge incorrectly" (I.i.1-11)

?

"Quoted material as appearing on Hilley's brilliant, brilliant assignment sheet thus indicated" (II,iv,35).

Exception: "Ahoy, matey!" (III,i,32) in which the exclamatory function supersedes the need for final punctuation.

Ever-admiringly,

J-Hill
