|
- Example
|
|
|
|
* - Serial (Oxford) comma
|
|
- Use comma before the *and* and *or* conjunctions that connect items
|
|
in series of three or more.
|
|
- You can create, update, and delete roles.
|
|
|
|
* - Semicolon
|
|
- Avoid using semicolons in sentences. Use periods or a commas instead.
|
|
Use semicolons only to separate series of words separated by commas.
|
|
- Large, medium, or small; soft or hard; black, gray, or white.
|
|
|
|
* - Colon
|
|
- Use colons to introduce lists and code examples or tables where
|
|
needed. Do not use colons in headings if this is not explicitly
|
|
required. Typically, use lowercase letters after colons
|
|
in running text.
|
|
- The configuration values are:
|
|
|
|
* ``certfile``
|
|
* ...
|
|
|
|
* - Quotation marks
|
|
- Generally, avoid using quotation marks, use the corresponding markup
|
|
instead.
|
|
|
|
Though, if the quotation marks are required, place commas and periods
|
|
inside closing quotation marks.
|
|
These applies to both words-as-words and sentence fragments.
|
|
- The screen displays, "Hello, world."
