There are different ways to format written text. Examples include: Quotes: > A warning etched under the sign read “Electromagnetics strictly prohibited.” Italics: > A warning etched under the sign read, _Electromagnetics strictly prohibited._ Special formatting: > A warning etched under the sign read: > > ELECTROMAGNETICS STRICTLY PROHIBITED In fiction, all of these are fine; each gives a somewhat different visual impression, so choose whichever you feel is most appropriate. If you have no preference, choose the simple italics or quotes; those are entirely clear and will not be misunderstood. Do be sure to stay consistent; don't use one format in one place and a different format in another.
