Editing Bullet (typography) (section)

== "Bullet points"<span class="anchor" id="Bullet points"></span> ==
Items&mdash;known as "bullet points"&mdash;may be short phrases, single sentences, or of [[paragraph]] length.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.contentandcommas.com/bullet-points/|title=Bullet Points: What, Why, and How to Use Then|work=Content and Commas |date=15 January 2022}}</ref> Bulleted items are not usually terminated with a [[full stop]] unless they are complete sentences. In some cases, however, the [[style guide]] for a given publication may call for every item except the last one in each bulleted list to be terminated with a [[semicolon]], and the last item with a full stop. It is correct to terminate any bullet point with a full stop if the text within that item consists of one full sentence or more. Bullet points are usually used to highlight list elements.<ref>{{cite web |title=Using Bullet Points |url=https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/how-to-use-bullet-points |website=merriam-webster.com |publisher=Merriam Webster |access-date=19 January 2025}}</ref>
