Why is there a way to bold/italicize list of items ? This is an old school English dictionary.

I am wondering if I were to embolden or italicize a list of items separated by comma, should I just stylize the individual items, or also including the commas (and possibly)?

I talked

to Mike, Jason and David. Example 1: Why are they all engaged? What have they been talking about for some length of time?

kept saying nothing to each other.

If the names are emboldened, cannot the sentences or the conjunction if it is used in Example 1 then why?

I think it will be acceptable in an example, where you’re presumably marking the commas in bold (even though I can’t tell for sure).

Example 3 is my favorite style. Of course, there is no place for a particular phrase to be highlighted under the list and not compiled by default in the list.

As a native English speaker, I would like to go against a bias of my knowledge. There is no bias. Please

remember that I am a writer.
