Not anywhere. Inline only: you can't put a paragraph within a span,
for example.

Thank you to everyone who made suggestions. The one(s) that
work best for my situation are inline us of span class and
span style.

I would use CITE for the title of a publication.

If the reason for marking up content with B was to emphasise it, I would
use STRONG.

Browsers usually present STRONG and CITE as bold and italic.

Whether the containing element should be LI, TABLE, or DIV depends, as
you say, on the context. I agree it isn't a paragraph.

IIRC, it was about choosing the semantically appropriate elements. This
is a matter that should be decided *before* considering how to display
the content in a visual (one or separate lines) media. IOW, The Proper
Order is: first the mark up (ciwah), then the styling (ciwas).
