In the book I'm writing now, I have thoughts signaled with both quotes and italics, like thus:
"That can't be right," she thought.
Several of my beta readers felt this was overkill and to just stick with italics, but I've been on WAY too many readers that failed to render italics; I feel I need to leave the quotes. And I really would prefer to not JUST use quotes for thoughts because I like the short-hand of italics (when available) to immediately signal Not Spoken Aloud.
I wouldn't be against a "test page" in books --
This is plain text.
This is bold text.
This is italic text.
[em]This is emphasized text.[/em]
This is strike through text.
