Is there a book that I can review that would answer many of the following questions? For example, these are some items I am confused about. Most of them are probably basic.
- How should state a new, non dictionary term? Should it be in italics or quotes?
- After using the new, non dictionary term, with either italic or quotes, can you drop the italic/quotes from subsequent use? Should it be "redefined" in different chapters?
- For bullet lists, should they start with lower or upper case?
- For bullet lists, should they have a period at the end or just follow normal grammar (i.e. if a sentence use a period, if a fragment then don't).
- Should figure captions end in a period?
- How consistent does tense need to be? I am not good at staying in a consistent tense.
- For non-fiction, what person should I use (first, second, third). Is it OK to mix this?
