With respect to bullet points:
- there are a range of styles accepted
- you just have to be consistent
- I have decided I like the bullet point style from http://www.monash.edu/about/editorialstyle/editing/punctuation.
End the introductory phrase preceding a list of bullet points in a
colon. If the individual bullet points are sentence fragments, don't
use a full stop, comma or semi-colon. Leave it bare until the last
bullet point, and then use a full stop. Don't use capitals. Use full
stops if each bullet point is a complete sentence.
