Without passing any judgement on whether the authors should or should not intend to convey this information in this way, the technology and the infrastructure of Crossref, HTML/CSS, and Zotero support it. So I see little reason to have any formal criteria against it or have software remove it. |

The intersection of tags supported by Zotero and Crossref Face markup and old-school HTML is
<b>,<i>,<sub>, and<sup>(see #19). Wikidata (thx @egonw for pointing it out!) has some kind of guideline/rule/filter excluding<b>from title HTML (see https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P6833). This begs the questions: should<b>be excluded from the Baseprint XML specification criteria for<article-title>?Below I document a concrete case of
<b>in an article title and a well-defined way to support it in HTML.https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0311900 is PMC11709263 with the following article title in XML:
The authors have clear intent to convey semantic information using bold (specifically how the acronym/backronym was constructed).
The PDF of the publisher does an excellent job visually contrasting the main title letters from the acronym/backronym letters. The HTML on PMC and the publisher's website successfully transform JATS
<bold>to HTML<strong>but the CSS styling fails to achieve the visual contrast that the PDF achieves. The publisher's website uses font weights 600 and 700 for the non-bold and bold letters. PMC uses 700 and 900. With the 'SourceSansPro-Bold' font that PMC loads from the network, the weight difference is not large enough to visually notice a difference (or PMC needs to load a different font).However, it is possible to replicate the visual contrast of the PDF using HTML. Here is example HTML (thx https://stackoverflow.com/a/37786735!) using the 'Roboto' font from Google that achieves the visual contrast:
Crossref and Zotero do not have any
<b>tag stored in the metadata for title, but based on their documentation (see #19) I see no reason why they would not support this if the publisher passed it along.Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
