Understanding Red-Lettering in Books and Documents

In the context of a book or document, "red-lettered" refers to text that is printed in red ink. This is often used to draw attention to important or notable passages, such as quotes, headings, or key phrases. The term "red letter day" is also sometimes used to refer to a special or significant day, again emphasizing the importance of the day with the use of red ink.
