Hi,

A friend is working on some documentation and had some questions that I
figured someone out there would be able to answer:

1) If, by convention, you always include file names in quotes, what do
you do when the file name appears at the end of a sentence...where does
the period go?

ex: Take the file labeled "file name" and create a new file called
"filename"

I would initially say the period goes inside, but he raised the concern
that the reader might think that the period is part of filename...

2) When a filename ends in a period and is at the end of a sentence, do
you add the period for punctuation? Or, would you just rewrite the
sentence?

Thanks for your help
Beth
