Subject:Re: Period at end of items in bulleted list From:"Christian, Cathy" <Cathy -dot- Christian -at- PSS -dot- BOEING -dot- COM> Date:Tue, 12 May 1998 14:42:46 -0700
Consistency is the most important thing, no matter what you do, but for
my software docs my style sheets say: Periods are not used unless the
majority of the bullets are complete sentences (This is a compromise,
I'd rather never use periods) and caps are always used. And no commas.
If you want a sentence, then write one.
