Presumably Dave just hasn't gotten around to it - that's how personal sites are, they fit only into the cracks of one's time-energy. No one to report a bug to but yourself...
- 50 3y agore: your site, don't you think the standard for epigraphs (and quotes in general) should be non-italicized, i.e., left to how they were originally written, with or without emphasis?
- gwern 3y agoMaybe, but if you don't italicize them, they risk looking a lot like blockquotes, and lack a good way of distinguishing the ascription/source. Italics are nice and often used for epigraphs, so it's not a weird choice.
- manuelmoreale 3y agoPersonal sites are a tricky beast. Especially if you’re someone who’s obsessed with details. I spent way too much time on mine but to get to a point where I was happy it took me years. So I’m sure Dave will get there eventually.
