Figuring the convention ought to be analogous to punctuation rules for
quotation marks, I always put the comma inside the asterisks.

Now, who can tell me the convention(s) for using apostrophe-s or
apostrophe alone in possessive forms of words ending in S?  Does it
make a difference if it's a singular name like Sirius as opposed to a
plural word like students?  Is it "Sirius's," but "students'?"
