TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
If Jo Baer's suggestion to try it both ways doesn't produce definite
results, I agree that you should bold it.
The Sun style guide uses periods, and they bold both the term and the
period. (Microsoft uses italic and periods, but I can't tell if the period
is italic).
Good luck,
Karen
