Abbreviations and footnotes

"Ibid." is an abbreviation. Period goes inside the markups. The commas go outside. Italicized abbreviations are common in footnotes, and because they're printed in a smaller font, often are harder to find. So, treat footnotes like contracts, and "carefully read the fine print." (Quickly scanning for breaks in the pattern just won't work with fine print.) And, while on the subject of Footnotes, they often contain stealth small-cap Roman Numerals (this example does not). Equally often, they contain lower-case Roman Numerals that should not be marked, but it can be very hard to tell the difference.

For more detail on how to format footnotes, see Footnotes.
