Subject:labelled lists & punctuation From:kendra cooper <kendrac -at- EE -dot- UBC -dot- CA> Date:Tue, 2 Sep 1997 10:38:56 PDT
Hello,
What is the correct punctuation when using labelled lists?
(I can't find this in my tech. writing book).
In a requirements specification technique, the labelled lists
are being written like this:
a) blah blah;
b) blip blip;
c) bloop.
Sometimes, we need to write them in the middle of a sentence
like this:
if something or other
a) blah blah;
b) blip blip;
c) bloop.
then do something else.
Thanks in advance.
