5Bulleted and numbered lists

5.1Bulleted lists

Vertical lists of bullets should be introduced with a sentence explaining what is contained in the list. Always begin an item with a capital letter. Omit any punctuation at the end of list items, unless the item forms a complete sentence.

Bug reports should include the following details:

• A summary of the issue
• The steps needed to reproduce the issue
• What you expected to happen
• What actually happens

If the list items form complete sentences, they should be styled as normal sentences ending with a punctuation mark.

5.2Numbered lists

Begin each numbered list item with a period following the numeral and a capital letter at the beginning of the item. Similar to bulleted lists, list items should only contain ending punctuation if they form complete sentences.

Create three attributes for each string:

1. To describe the string's purpose
2. To name the string
3. To differentiate it from potential duplicates

Numbered lists that describe step-by-step procedures should be composed as complete sentences that imply the subject "you".
