I have a dialog heavy scene in which one of the characters walks up to a door marked with a sign. I wrote > A warning etched under the sign read “Electromagnetics strictly prohibited.” Is it correct to quote the text of the sign, even though there is no speaker? If not, should the text otherwise be offset from normal text? I'm already using italics to indicate internal dialog.
