[a] Most captions draw attention to something in the image that is not obvious, such as its relevance to the text. A caption may be a few words or several sentences. Writing good captions takes effort; along with the lead and section headings, captions are the most commonly read words in an article, so they should be succinct and informative.
Text formatting in citations should follow, consistently within an article, an established citation style or system. Options include either of Wikipedia's own template-based Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2, and any other well-recognized citation system. Parameters in the citation templates should be accurate.
Typography is the art and technique of setting written subject matter in type using a combination of typeface styles, point sizes, line lengths, line leading, character spacing, and word spacing to produce typeset artwork in physical or digital form. The same block of text set with line-height 1.5 is easier to read: Typography is the art and technique of setting written subject matter in type ...
Use of italics should conform to Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Text formatting § Italic type. Do not use articles (a, an, or the) as the first word (Economy of the Second Empire, not The economy of the Second Empire), unless it is an inseparable part of a name (The Hague) or of the title of a work (A Clockwork Orange, The Simpsons).
This is the most common list type on Wikipedia. Bullets are used to discern, at a glance, the individual items in a list, usually when each item in the list is a simple word, phrase or single line of text, for which numeric ordering is not appropriate, or lists that are extremely brief, where discerning the items at a glance is not an issue.
Comment --> and replace the word "Comment" with the hidden text you desire. Example (and note that line breaks in the comment itself do not show up in the rendered page): Example (and note that line breaks in the comment itself do not show up in the rendered page):
The same applies to the titles of articles, table headers and captions, the headers of infoboxes and navigation templates, and image captions and alt text. (For list items, see next section.) Linking is easier if titles are in sentence case. It is easier for articles to be merged or split if headings resemble titles.
Instead of text in the caption, include a small icon of the word "Attribution" or "License" or something similar linking to the image description page, much like the Enlarge icon in captions already. This would require a bit of creative coding to make the license info show in printed articles, but it's certainly possible.
