I am finishing a piece which employs scholarly footnoting as well as the embedded titles of books, titles of magazines, magazine articles and there is the matter of the Buddhist Canon which has SUTTAS embedded in Suttas embedded in suttas embedded in suttas ! Just HOW do you render them manuscript distinguishable?
I am bedeviled by a (double spaced, 1 inch margins, Courier 12), Venusian jungle of underlines, italics and bold faced type. (or is that font?).
Can you refer me to a pdf, web page, or opinion on formatting of manuscripts with citations of Buddhist suttas and sutras?
So far my impression is:
I write :
The Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta in the Samyutta Nikāya (LVI.11), is the first teaching of the Buddhas as reported in the Sutta Nikāyas. See the article The Onion Skin Sutta, by Desad, Mark Key, 1999, Quack Press, Paris.
