Re: Correct "Style" for URL

Title: Re: [GWL] Correct "Style" for URL
Lynn -- AP doesn't require that you do anything special....just using the Web site address is all tht's needed. Different publications have different styles...some I write for say they want the http...www while other say just the www.....is necessary...then there are some Web address that don't have the www....

At the end of a sentence, you do use punctuation marks.

AP also says it's Internet (cap I), the Net (cap N) and Web (cap. W). I have a 2002 version of the AP Stylebook.

What is the latest correct way to write a website ?
Can't always do color, so is there another way to distinguish it?
Are underlines necessary?  I see italics sometimes. 
If it's at the end of a sentence, what about the period at the end; is that confusing to some people?

What about an email address? special font or italics?
My AP stylebook must be too old...no info.
Thanks!
