`, or use APIs like the Wikipedia API, or extract titles from XML PDF metadata, they usually omit italics or make them hard to get, where the correctly-formatted title is presented at all. # (For example, the standard WP API will not provide the 'formatted' title; one has to use a different endpoint.) # This is quite annoying if you link a lot of material about books, movies, or foreign topics, as I do, because the metadata will silently be mis-formatted according to standard English conventions. (You don't "read Moby-Dick", you "read Moby Dick".) # This cannot be easily solved by more complicated scraping, because there is a long tail of metadata sources and in some cases there may be *no* metadata anywhere in the target which includes italics (the target may simply have not bothered to italicize anywhere!). # But it is something which is easy for a knowledgeable human to do, because they know 'Moby-Dick is the name of a famous novel, and novel titles should be italicized'; it is just too tedious to do at scale. # This makes it a perfect use-case for LLMs. # # Example: # # $ echo "Moby-Dick" | OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-XYZ" python italicizer.py # Moby-Dick # $ OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-XYZ" italicizer.py "the musician Moby-Dick" # "" import sys import time from openai import OpenAI client = OpenAI() if len(sys.argv) == 1: target = sys.stdin.read().strip() else: target = " ".join(sys.argv[1:]).strip() # short-circuit empty input: avoid a billed API call & an ambiguous response if not target: print("") sys.exit(0) # The whole task lives in a single user turn; a system message ("You are a Wikipedia # copyeditor; consult MOS:ITALIC <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Text_formatting#Italic_type>") # was tried but did not help, so it is omitted. prompt = f"""Task: Add HTML italics to text according to formal English style. Italicize ONLY these specific categories: - Long works: novels, films, TV shows, plays, operas, musicals, video games, albums, book-length poems. - Periodicals: newspapers, magazines, academic journals, and named recurring blogs or newsletters treated as publications. - Visual works: paintings, sculptures, curated named art exhibitions. - Named individual vehicles: specific ships, aircraft, spacecraft, or automobiles identified by name (USS Enterprise, HMS Victory, Millennium Falcon, La Baleine). Not model or class names. - Legal cases: court case names in "X v. Y"/"X vs Y" form (Roe v. Wade; Hobson v. Hansen). Italicize the case name only, not surrounding words. - Scientific usage: binomial species names (Drosophila melanogaster); variables in running text (the r parameter; Nth-great-grandmother). - Foreign words and phrases not naturalized into English; foreign-language titles in their native form. - Musical direction terms used descriptively (molto ritardando). Do NOT italicize (these are the most common over-italicization errors): - Academic paper, preprint, or conference paper titles, however grand-sounding. - Essay, blog post, news article, magazine article, chapter, and section titles — including canonical essays (e.g., "Politics and the English Language"). - Short stories and short poems, advertisements - Conference and workshop names (SIGGRAPH, ICML, workshops at named venues). - Laws, statutes, treaties, constitutions, declarations (but court *case* names ARE italicized — see above). - Proper names of people, places, pets, buildings, businesses, or fictional characters — even when the name coincides with a work title or a foreign word (Hamnet = Shakespeare's son; Foss = a cat; Moby = a musician; Medieval Times = a restaurant chain). - Products, companies, websites, platforms, brands, services, AI models (OK Soda, iPhone, Bloomberg, Aeon, Suno, Veo, Gemini 3). - Symphonies, concertos, numbered classical works (Symphony No. 5). - Software, databases, libraries, tools, programming languages, benchmarks, datasets. - Font names. - Common foreign loanwords familiar to English readers (sushi, yoga, kung fu, faux pas, en route, sudoku, karaoke). - Acronyms and abbreviated forms, even when the expanded form would be italicized. Key decision rule: A capitalized multi-word phrase is NOT a reliable signal of an italicizable work. Most title-case multi-word phrases are papers, essays, articles, or products — none of which are italicized. If the input could plausibly be any of the Do-Not-Italicize categories above, return "" rather than guessing. Output format: - Inputs may be prefixed with a source URL or local file path as contextual metadata to help you identify the work (eg. "/doc/foo/bar.pdf Some Title" or "https://example.com/ Some Title"). Do NOT reproduce the prefix in your output: operate only on the title text following it, and return that title (with italics added) or "". - If italicization is needed: return the full text with tags inserted around the italicized span. Keep trailing punctuation outside the tags. - Otherwise (no italicization needed, or text is already correct): return the empty string "". - Do not add quotes, correct spelling, or make other changes. - Do not explain. When in doubt, consult MOS:ITALIC <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Text_formatting#Italic_type>.

For general-purpose title reformatting, see . # # If you parse HTML pages for ``, or use APIs like the Wikipedia API, or extract titles from XML PDF metadata, they usually omit italics or make them hard to get, where the correctly-formatted title is presented at all. # (For example, the standard WP API will not provide the 'formatted' title; one has to use a different endpoint.) # This is quite annoying if you link a lot of material about books, movies, or foreign topics, as I do, because the metadata will silently be mis-formatted according to standard English conventions. (You don't "read Moby-Dick", you "read Moby Dick".) # This cannot be easily solved by more complicated scraping, because there is a long tail of metadata sources and in some cases there may be *no* metadata anywhere in the target which includes italics (the target may simply have not bothered to italicize anywhere!). # But it is something which is easy for a knowledgeable human to do, because they know 'Moby-Dick is the name of a famous novel, and novel titles should be italicized'; it is just too tedious to do at scale. # This makes it a perfect use-case for LLMs. # # Example: # # $ echo "Moby-Dick" | OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-XYZ" python italicizer.py # Moby-Dick # $ OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-XYZ" italicizer.py "the musician Moby-Dick" # "" import sys import time from openai import OpenAI client = OpenAI() if len(sys.argv) == 1: target = sys.stdin.read().strip() else: target = " ".join(sys.argv[1:]).strip() # short-circuit empty input: avoid a billed API call & an ambiguous response if not target: print("") sys.exit(0) # The whole task lives in a single user turn; a system message ("You are a Wikipedia # copyeditor; consult MOS:ITALIC <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Text_formatting#Italic_type>") # was tried but did not help, so it is omitted. prompt = f"""Task: Add HTML italics to text according to formal English style. Italicize ONLY these specific categories: - Long works: novels, films, TV shows, plays, operas, musicals, video games, albums, book-length poems. - Periodicals: newspapers, magazines, academic journals, and named recurring blogs or newsletters treated as publications. - Visual works: paintings, sculptures, curated named art exhibitions. - Named individual vehicles: specific ships, aircraft, spacecraft, or automobiles identified by name (USS Enterprise, HMS Victory, Millennium Falcon, La Baleine). Not model or class names. - Legal cases: court case names in "X v. Y"/"X vs Y" form (Roe v. Wade; Hobson v. Hansen). Italicize the case name only, not surrounding words. - Scientific usage: binomial species names (Drosophila melanogaster); variables in running text (the r parameter; Nth-great-grandmother). - Foreign words and phrases not naturalized into English; foreign-language titles in their native form. - Musical direction terms used descriptively (molto ritardando). Do NOT italicize (these are the most common over-italicization errors): - Academic paper, preprint, or conference paper titles, however grand-sounding. - Essay, blog post, news article, magazine article, chapter, and section titles — including canonical essays (e.g., "Politics and the English Language"). - Short stories and short poems, advertisements - Conference and workshop names (SIGGRAPH, ICML, workshops at named venues). - Laws, statutes, treaties, constitutions, declarations (but court *case* names ARE italicized — see above). - Proper names of people, places, pets, buildings, businesses, or fictional characters — even when the name coincides with a work title or a foreign word (Hamnet = Shakespeare's son; Foss = a cat; Moby = a musician; Medieval Times = a restaurant chain). - Products, companies, websites, platforms, brands, services, AI models (OK Soda, iPhone, Bloomberg, Aeon, Suno, Veo, Gemini 3). - Symphonies, concertos, numbered classical works (Symphony No. 5). - Software, databases, libraries, tools, programming languages, benchmarks, datasets. - Font names. - Common foreign loanwords familiar to English readers (sushi, yoga, kung fu, faux pas, en route, sudoku, karaoke). - Acronyms and abbreviated forms, even when the expanded form would be italicized. Key decision rule: A capitalized multi-word phrase is NOT a reliable signal of an italicizable work. Most title-case multi-word phrases are papers, essays, articles, or products — none of which are italicized. If the input could plausibly be any of the Do-Not-Italicize categories above, return "" rather than guessing. Output format: - Inputs may be prefixed with a source URL or local file path as contextual metadata to help you identify the work (eg. "/doc/foo/bar.pdf Some Title" or "https://example.com/ Some Title"). Do NOT reproduce the prefix in your output: operate only on the title text following it, and return that title (with italics added) or "". - If italicization is needed: return the full text with tags inserted around the italicized span. Keep trailing punctuation outside the tags. - Otherwise (no italicization needed, or text is already correct): return the empty string "". - Do not add quotes, correct spelling, or make other changes. - Do not explain.
