Attributions connected by em-dashes
The guidance so far has been to move attributions to lines of their own. However, the proofreading guidelines tell us to not split text at dashes or em-dashes, and that takes precedence over the guidance here. Leave the em-dash and the attribution as they appear in the image. The em-dash is not part of the name and should not be in italics (or in small caps, if that was the formatting). The attribution is a "complete sentence" (the preceding text ended with a period), so the period after the attribution goes inside the closing italics tag.
