Bulleted or numbered lists

For lists with phrases or fragments:

  • do not capitalize first words
  • do not use commas
  • do not include a final period

For lists where items are complete sentences:

  • Capitalize the first word of each item.
  • Place a period at the end of each bulleted item in the list.

In essence, maintain the punctuation that would occur if the bullet set up and body was presented as a complete sentence.
