"See the section 'Adding Widgets' for more information,"
I have been told that using quotation marks is incorrect,
and that italics should be used instead for the section name.
Is one of these methods considered correct? (Or another that
I haven't mentioned?)
Traditionally it's italics for books and quotation marks
for chapters.
