Names of device fields begin with a capital letter (e.g., Count).

3.3.3 Lists
3.3.3.1 Lists overview
Lists shall be introduced by a complete grammatical proposition followed by a colon and completed by the items
in the list.
Each item in a list shall be preceded by an identification with the style of the identification being determined by
whether the list is intended to be an ordered list or an unordered list.
If the item in a list is not a complete sentence, then the first word in the item shall not be capitalized. If the item in
a list is a complete sentence, then the first word in the item shall be capitalized,
Each item in a list shall end with a semicolon, except the last item, which shall end in a period. The next to the
last entry in the list shall end with a semicolon followed by an “and” or an “or” (i.e., “...; and”, or “...; or”). The
“and” is used if all the items in the list are required. The “or” is used if only one or more items in the list are
required.
3.3.3.2 Unordered lists
An unordered list is one in which the order of the listed items is unimportant (i.e., it does not matter where in the
list an item occurs as all items have equal importance). Each list item shall start with a lower case letter followed
by a close parenthesis. If it is necessary to subdivide a list item further with an additional unordered list (i.e.,
have a nested unordered list), then the nested unordered list shall be indented and each item in the nested
unordered list shall start with an upper case letter followed by a close parenthesis.
The following is an example of an unordered list with a nested unordered list:
The following are the items for the assembly:
a) a box containing:
A) a bolt;
B) a nut; and
C) a washer;
b) a screwdriver; and
c) a wrench.
3.3.3.3 Ordered lists
An ordered list is one in which the order of the listed items is important (i.e., item n is required before item n+1).
Each listed item starts with an Western-Arabic numeral followed by a close parenthesis. If it is necessary to
subdivide a list item further with an additional unordered list (i.e., have a nested unordered list), then the nested
unordered list shall be indented and each item in the nested unordered list shall start with an upper case letter
followed by a close parenthesis.
The following is an example of an ordered list with a nested unordered list:
The following are the instructions for the assembly:
1) Remove the contents from the box;
2) Assemble the item;
A) Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws; and
B) Use a wrench to tighten the bolts;
and
3) Take a break.
