In stories if there is a piece of writing, such as a sign, a note, a journal entry and the like are they supposed to be Italisized, or just separated by spaces???

Thanks

More often than not, they're italicized or set off by quote marks. Flip through a few books like yours and see how others do it.

Thanks,

I haven't seen many books containing what I am looking for as an example, so I am just going to leave them italisized as that seems to be the correct way to do it :)
