Properly formatting lists
Follow these simple rules to correctly format a list:
Number your list if order is relevant
If you use numbers it implies
a prioritized sequence.
Don’t use bullets
If you
use a dot or a symbol to lead items in an unnumbered list, it is known as
bullets.
Use an introductory sentence
If your list is numbered or
unnumbered you should use an introductory sentence.
Be consistent within your list
If you use a list of single
words, a phrase, or a complete sentence, keep it the same.
Use proper
punctuation
If your set up is incomplete,
use a phrase that completes the sentence and end it with a period.
Insure a list is the best choice to
display your information
If you are formatting a list,
make sure that a sentence or a paragraph is not a better choice.
Avoid separators
If you are using words such
as “I” or “a” try to rewrite the list to exclude these separators.
