Best Answer

Yes. There are periods after each letter, both letters are italicised, and a comma follows the second period: " i.e., ... ". It is an abbreviation of the Latin term, 'id est' (which means, 'that is'), and foreign terms are uaually italicised. Do not confuse i.e., with e.g., because they mean two different things. The second one is an abbreviation of the Latin term exempli gratia (which means "for example").
