→Odysseus: italic
*If you include a link to a source just by using simple square brackets (like <nowiki>[http://www.johntaylorgatto.com/odysseus.htm]</nowiki>), it appears only as a number (like <nowiki>[1]</nowiki>) in the text, similar to footnotes. But unlike those, it isn't listed in the references. To get it listed there, you have to include your link into <nowiki><ref>...</ref></nowiki> - tags. (see [http://conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Odysseus&diff=1052314&oldid=1052313 this link] for an example)

::Perhaps either AugustO or Ed Poor can help me, but other than on recent wikis where the quotation mark and the italic notation can be easily confused, I have never seen italic font used as a stand-alone indication of a block quotation. I have seen italic used for titles or books or for emphasis or for foreign language words, but not as a replacement for quotation marks. Any sources for this alternative would be appreciated.
