▪ the illustration is in the public domain, because the author has been dead for more than seventy years (the mention "public domain", or a date, is readable at the source of the illustration) ;

- short quotations are inserted directly into the body of the text. When they are longer than two lines, they are detached from the text in a specific paragraph (without inverted commas);
- Acronyms should be expanded once in the body of the text and should not contain separators. For example: Société nationale des chemins de fer (SNCF) ;
- capital letters are accented (À, É, etc.). Personal names should not be written in capitals;
- century numbers are written in Roman numerals and small capitals. Years are written in numerical form: 1968, 1981, etc., not 68, 81, etc.; similarly, "1970s" not "70s" for example;
- non-breaking spaces (Shift+CTRL+space in Word) are placed before punctuation marks ( !, ?, ;, :, ") and before or after punctuation marks ( "); before and after hyphens (-) and semi-cadrics (-); in the spacing for numbers (2,000), percentages (23%), centuries (19th century), etc.; between first and last names (Marcel Dassault).
