For example, in the following exchange, > "Shut up!" she yelled. "I can't think when you ramble." (For context, it's for a novel or online story publication.) I want to emphasize the two words shut up using italics. Normally, if there was only one word or a part of a sentence emphasized, I would only italicize that word or part: > "I said there were _three_ people missing. Can't you ever listen?" Clearly, only the word is italicized. What if the whole dialog is emphasized? Which is correct: > "_Shut up_!" she yelled. (only the two words are italicized) > > "_Shut up!_" she yelled (the exclamation mark is italicized) > > _"Shut up!"_ she yelled (the whole sentence, including quotation marks, is italicized.) Or are none of these correct?
