3.6.4 Titles And Quotations within Titles

How do academic writers refer to posts in an online forum? We had no idea (and admittedly, hadn’t given it any thought) until late last year when we started designing the Modern Languages Association’s Handbook for Writers of Research Papers.
The MLA Handbook is the gold-standard reference for academic researchers in the US, but it lacked an online version. For the Seventh edition, our partners Semantico were commissioned to build one, and we designed the interface. The site has just gone live.
The book is a surprisingly interesting read, covering not just citation rules but style guidance, case studies and research technique. Strunk and White fans should check it out. The rest of you may be interested to read our short case study (forgive style errors).
