li

Identifies a single item in a list.

An <li> element can be a list item in an ordered <ol> or unordered <ul> list.

List items should:

  • Start with a capital letter, unless the first word is context-sensitive and lowercase.

  • Ensure that each item in the list is parallel in both purpose and structure.

  • When possible, ensure that items in a list are either all sentence fragments or all complete sentences, and not a mixture of both. If you must include both sentences and sentence fragments, end each entry in the list with a period. In a list that consists of sentence fragments only, do not include punctuation at the end of any item, including the last item.

lq

The long quote (<lq>) element indicates content quoted from another source. Use the quote element <q> for short, inline quotations, and long quote <lq> for quotations that are too long for inline use, following normal guidelines for quoting other sources. You can store a URL to the source of the quotation in the attribute.
