Italicize named Codices?? edit

Fellow editors: When typing the name of a Codex, e.g. Codex Rios, should I italicize it (e.g. Codex Rios)?? I see that the convention on the Codex article is "No", but I thought I'd ask as I've seen it italicized elsewhere in Wikipedia. Curiously yours, Madman 02:16, 29 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Italics within italicised sentences edit

Some sentences are generally written all in italics on Wikipedia, such as

Main article: Dog

What happens when the words within those sentences are meant to be in italics? Should it be:

Main article: Escherichia coli, or
Main article: Escherichia coli

In books, when italics are italicized, they are generally reset, so I would say:
Main article: Escherichia coli
