Lists

Use lists to make blocks of text easier to read.

Bulleted list

Introduce bulleted lists with a lead-in line ending in a colon. Start each item with a lowercase letter and do not use a full stop at the end.

  • how to book a bowling green for a season
  • casual green booking
  • indoor bowling

Bulleted list with nested items

Use a bulleted list with nested items if items in a bulleted list require a list themselves.

Battery disposal:

  • never dispose of used or damaged batteries in household waste. They can cause fires in refuse lorries.
  • check if the manufacturer offers a recycling service. Alternatively, follow Bristol Waste guidelines:

Numbered list

Use numbered lists instead of bulleted lists when the order of the items is relevant.

You do not need to use a lead-in line for numbered lists. Items in a numbered list should end in a full stop because each should be a complete sentence.

If you use a nested list in a numbered list, it will use the number of the item with a number suffix by default.

  1. bulleted list item one
  2. bulleted list item two
    1. nested list item one
    2. nested list item two
    3. nested list item three
  3. bulleted list item 3

Bulleted list with nested numbered lists

Use a bulleted list with a nested numbered list when a bulleted list item requires a numbered list.

  • bulleted list item one
  • bulleted list item two
    1. Nested numbered list item one.
    2. Nested numbered list item two.
    3. Nested numbered list item three.
  • bulleted list item three
