Lists

Lists allow you to structure your information better, especially for multiple options or a sequence of steps.

Use the same syntax/structure for all list items in a given list, if possible. Dependent on the type of list you are writing, you must adjust your format accordingly.

Bulleted Lists

Use bulleted lists for grouping purposes to create concise but effective pieces of information. Set of items that's neither a sequence nor options. The order of information in bulleted lists is not important.

Example

In this example, we should include:

  • A sentence, with a brief explanation.

  • Another similar sentence, with a brief explanation.

  • Yet another sentence, some further explanation.

Numbered Lists

Use numbered lists where the sequence of steps to be performed is important.

Example Here's a sequence of steps to follow:

  1. Open the page.

  2. Edit the information on the page.

  3. Save your changes.

  4. Close the page.
