The italics in the footnotes are abbreviations. The periods are parts of those abbreviations and go INSIDE the italics tags.

See the comments for 191, above.
Footnote 2 is interesting: 2 St. Clair, West Indies, etc., i. 152.
How should etc. be handled? Should it be: [Footnote 2: St. Clair, <i>West Indies, etc.</i>, i. 152.]
or [Footnote 2: St. Clair, <i>West Indies</i>, <i>etc.</i>, i. 152.]
The answer is that it depends ... on whether or not "etc." is part of the title. The syntax suggests that it is, as the page reference follows the "etc." A Google search reveals that the actual title of the book is "A soldier's recollections of the West Indies and America" (it was published in 1834). So, when the author of the book (from which our example 092 was taken) wrote this footnote, he understandably abbreviated the long title (ignoring the confusion it would cause at DP in the 21st century). For formatting purposes, the "etc." is like the period at the end of an abbreviation such as "Dr." but represents omitted words, not just omitted letters. That makes it an integral part of the title, so it belongs INSIDE the single pair of tags, as shown in the first alternative above.
And if someone sees a shorter way of explaining this clearly, please (PLEASE!) feel free to modify this Wiki entry. :-)

The Latin name in parenthesis is italicized because that's the convention for biological classification. The "?" is not part of that name and should be OUTSIDE the italics tags.
The italics in the footnotes are abbreviations. The periods are parts of those abbreviations and go INSIDE the italics tags.

The list part-way down the page needs to be tagged because it's indented. It's wrappable, so use Block Quotes, not no-wraps.
195
Enclose each stanza in no-wraps and match any indentation using an even number of spaces. At least one line in any no-wraps block must be left-justified.
The italics begin and end in unusual positions on this page, so extra care is needed to tag everything correctly.
The "sentences" ending in question marks are interrogative, so when the words just before the "?" are in italics, the question marks go OUTSIDE the tags, as they belong to the sentences.
In the footnotes, each reference has been treated as a single entity and been given one set of tags. It has been argued, however, that, for instance, "Pseud. Epid.--Works" literally means Browne's "Pseudodoxia Epidemica", to be found in Browne's "Works", volume 2, page 531, which indicates there are two references, each with its own set of italic tags.
Further commentary is needed here to address how the italics in the footnotes were done.

In addition to sometimes subtle italics, "A. D." is in small-caps: besides tagging it, make sure it's all upper-case.
