Hi dear people! It's been a while since I posted here, but I've got a technical question for you. What are the formatting rules for a summing up (I'm Dutch so forgive me if I write that wrong. Please correct me!) of things in a novel. This is used in this particular example for comedic effect. I will write down the example below: You see, Eveline wasn't the sweetest girl, and that is a gross understatement. In fact, in order to illustrate my point, I will sum up the ten words most used by people when attempting to summarize her personality: Cruel Bitch Witch (also commonly combined with the former to become 'witchbitch', a term devised specifically for her). Diva I think you get the point. Now, could anyone tell me what would be the correct way of doing this? Thanks in advance! Joost
the way you've shown it here would be the most sensible way, but the #3 additive is so long it would take up a couple of lines, which would mean you'd have to separate each of the numbered items with a line space... and that long addition's second line should probably start under the first letter of the previous line, not the number...
