Examples

“Dot points work well when each dot is a short phrase or clause (like this) each one runs no longer than this (try to keep each point from run- ning over a line, like this) […] But different rules apply when each dot point is a sentence or a paragraph—when, in other words, it stands on its own grammatically.”

“The digital edition advises against using ‘and’ or ‘or’ at the end of dot points in lists. The sixth edition allowed ‘or’ at the end of a list item, though recommended avoiding this if possible.”
