### Lists

The following guidelines apply to all list types:
- Make lists parallel in content and structure. Don’t mix single words with phrases, don’t start some phrases with a noun and others with a verb, and don’t mix verb forms.
- Present the items in alphabetical order if the order of items is arbitrary.
- Capitalize the first letter of the first word of each list item.
- If the list is simple, you don’t need end punctuation for the list items.
- If the list has a mixture of phrases and sentences, punctuate each list item.
- Punctuate each list item with a period if a list item has more than one sentence.
- Punctuate list items consistently. If at least one item in a list requires a period, use a period for all items in that list.
- Introductory sentences are required for lists.
- Introductory sentences should be complete sentences.
- Introductory sentences should end with a colon.
- Don’t use semicolons, commas, or conjunctions (like and or or) at the end of list items.
