Italics
Where a whole sentence is italicized, it is considered good form to include the period. However, watch for italicized punctuation especially : and ;—here we respect the original i.e. vs ;  vs ;

italic for inline italics (within a paragraph). Whole paragraphs need to be italicised individually with this template. italic block spans more than one paragraph.

Italicised dates etc.
Many typefaces found in older books used the same type for numbers in both regular text and italics or bold. For dates and similar phrases, format the entire phrase with one set of markup, rather than marking the words as italics (or bold) and not the numbers.
