Lists

Q: How should I create lists in my content?

A: To properly create lists, use the built-in markup tools of your editor. Don’t create fake bullets with hyphens for instance. For ease of reading, we generally:

  • Limit the text by each bullet point
  • do not capitalise the first letter of each point
  • do not use punctuation such as commas, full stops or semicolons at the end of each Point (unless it's the final bullet point).
