6.1.9 Parentheses

  1. Use parentheses in place of commas to enclose an element containing internal punctuation. (A pair of dashes might serve you better since parentheses reduce the apparent importance of the element they enclose.)
  2. Use other marks of punctuation correctly in relation to parentheses (as shown here and in #1 above).
