We both agreed that, if you're using a format that doesn't allow underlining or italics, you should use quotes. But what if the title comes at the end of the sentence? We both agreed that since a title include only the graphemes therein, and not the end-punctuation, that the quotes should end inside the period, like "this".

We were both wrong, though.

it shouldn't look as ugly as "this."
