Right now there are two conventions throughout Sage for bullet points (and 
similar things). Someone has been systematically trying to change 
everything to one convention (which I am opposed to). However, we as a 
community have not had a discussion about this as far as I am aware (I 
believe also changing the example doc page at some point). I figured we 
should have this conversion now.

The question is this: Should there be blanklines between bullet points:

Pros (these are the ones I can see, but I am biased):

- It makes it more clear what bullet point is which.

- It could be easier to read as it looks less like a big paragraph of text.

Cons:

- IMO it looks really bad when there are few bullet points and they are 
really short.
- I find it *harder* to separate bullet points from non-bullet points, 
especially when
  separated by single lines

  * This includes sublists, which must have a blank line before/after them 
(just like normal lists).

- It makes it more clear that these bullet points should be thought of as a 
single
  collection.
- Because blanklines separates a list from the body of text, it makes it 
seem like
  the bullet points are each their own list of single items.

Note that this does not change the compiled doc, but I typically am not 
looking at that.

What is your opinions? I think it is clear that I am for no blanklines 
between bullet points.

Best,
Travis
