Practice

[edit]

Explicit Roman numeral formatting is useful when describing Roman numerals themselves, or when Roman numerals may be ambiguous if in the same style as the surrounding prose, or when essential to representing source material, or in other cases of editors' discretion. The Manual of Style on numbers as of August 2022 does not specify formatting other than to use ASCII for Roman numerals in text.
