@AlecMuffett I'm convinced that the adjacent punctuation should retain the style of the word (i.e., if the word is stylized, the punctuation should as well). My conviction comes from an old but (to me) authoritative guide on publications from Xerox. I'll try to dig it up if I can find it.
From the Lunchtime Music Department: Listening to a rendition of “Farewell Blues” by Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs. What wonderful rapid-fire banjo techniques those two had!
For the first time ever, I was the beneficiary of random Christmas kindness: Someone paid for my (and the next table’s) lunch and tip. Wow! Thank you, whoever you are!
