In a vertical list, a colon (:) divides the first part of the sentence from the subsequent items in the vertical list. This colon has the effect of a full stop (period). Thus:

- In procedural sentences, you can use a maximum of 20 words before the colon.

- In descriptive sentences, you can use a maximum of 25 words before the colon.


Each item in a vertical list that comes after the colon counts as a new sentence. Thus, the limit for each item in a vertical list is:
- 20 words for procedural sentences

- 25 words for descriptive sentences.


Example in STE:


To extinguish a possible fire, portable fire extinguishers are installed in these areas: (13 words)

- The cockpit (2 words) 
- The cabin (2 words) 
- The cabin sub-compartment (3 words) 
- The crew rest compartment. (4 words)
