Let's say I have a document with a list like this: - aaaa - bbbb - cccc - dddd Should I put nothing, a semicolon, a full stop or what at the end of each line? This is for an academic paper. We don't have a specific style guide we're supposed to follow. I found some information on the Internet and apparently: if there is no full stop within an item (as in 2nd and 3rd item in the list above), the item is closed by a semicolon, otherwise by a full stop (as in the 1st item in the list above). Is this correct? Is this applicable to a mixed (full stop within some item, no full stop within some other time) list?
