Hi Manoj, Thanks for your feedback on the Editorial Cheat Sheet for OpenSolaris Documentation.
Per these guidelines, it's not necessary to make all list items complete sentences. It's fine to have phrases (sentence fragments) in a list. Ideally, a list doesn't include both complete sentences and sentence fragments, but often, that can't be easily avoided. When a list has at least one complete sentence, then (per the style suggested in these guidelines), you would include a period at the end of each list item, even for list items that are sentence fragments. If the list items contain only sentence fragments, then you wouldn't include any end punctuation. Hope this helps! Cheers, Alysson > Hello Sir, > > My name is Manoj Joshi.
