A list item should not end with a full stop unless it consists of a complete sentence or is the end of a list that forms one. When elements contain (or are) titles of works or other proper names, these retain their original capitalization, regardless how the rest of the list is formatted.

Avoid using two hyphens (--) to make a dash, and avoid using a hyphen as a minus sign.

Comparable values near one another should be all spelled out or all in figures, even if one of the numbers would normally be written differently: patients' ages were five, seven, and thirty-two or ages were 5, 7, and 32, but not ages were five, seven, and 32.
