Correctly formatted text

   There was something I could

   to focus. It bogged down in
   a muck of unreasoning terror and
   could only scream <i>Why? Why?
   Why?</i>

Punctuation belonging to the phrase, not the sentence

Here, the question marks belong to the italicized phrase, not to the declarative sentence that contains it, so the question mark goes inside the markup.

Repeated words

This isn't a list, so one markup pair for all.
