Editing GoArch:Style guide (section)

===Punctuation===
====Hyphens and dashes====
* A hyphen links an adjective to a word it modifies, e.g. ''Ae'gura was the capital of the once-great D'ni empire''.
* An [[w:Dash#Em dash|em-dash]] (— or <code>&amp;mdash;</code>) separates a phrase from the main sentence, e.g. ''Atrus—not to be confused with his grandfather of the same name—is…''.
* An [[w:Dash#En dash|en-dash]] (– or <code>&amp;ndash;</code>) to specify ranges, e.g. ''10–20''.

Note that when using a dash, the spaces between it and the surrounding words are omitted.

====Parentheses====
Parenthetical statements should be avoided where possible. If an aside is needed in the middle of a sentence, separate it using an em-dash (—) as outlined above.

====Periods and quotation marks====
When a quotation ends in the middle of a sentence, it should terminate in a comma. e.g. ''Therefore, "the ending has not yet been written," as Atrus once said.''

If a quotation ends a sentence, the period should be within the quotation marks. e.g. "As Atrus once said, "the ending has not yet been written."

If a word or phrase is wrapped in quotation marks at the end of a sentence, the period should be outside the quotation marks. e.g. ''This is what the D'ni called a "Linking Book".

Quotation marks should ''never'' be used for emphasis. Use ''italic'' or '''bold''' text for this purpose.

=====Block quotes=====
Quotations in <code><nowiki><blockquote></nowiki></code> do not need to be surrounded by quotation marks.
