Upright (non-italic) numerals
When upright numerals, especially dates, are part of italicized phrases, we enclose them in the same italics markups. Reason: the printer probably didn't have italics numerals. BUT, when the numerals are associated with an abbreviation such as "3s." (where the "s." for "shillings" is italicized), or "A. M." that is in small-caps, or a word like "circa" that is italicized because it's from another language, we do not enclose the numerals in the markups. Also, both of these lines can be enclosed in the same markup.
