: Do you bold punctuation directly after bold text? Do you bold punctuation directly after bold, linked or italic text?

As a quick reference, if you would underline it (example a title Dr. John Doe, or John Doe, M.D.) then you would format it to match the text. If it is sentence punctuation then it is not formatted. Example: We went to New York and saw Oklahoma! on Broadway.; Send this to Dr. John Doe.; Send this to John Doe, M.D.; Send this to Mary.

This is a matter of style and totally up to you. In most cases (period, comma) people will not see the difference. For exclamation marks and question marks it is more obvious.

For me it looks better when these marks are italicized:

Do you really want to eat this?

On the other hand, I would never make them bold or include them into the link formatting.

But that's me. You can find a different approach on commnet.edu. (← see, period not included :))
