+There are two conventions.

+This generalization includes monospaced representation of monospaced texts that do _not_ follow the two spaces convention.

+If a multi-sentence list item does use a space between sentences (with the possibility of strictly replacing the space with a line break): 
+
+* consider edition, to have no more than one sentence per point
+** do not assume that nesting of points is the solution
+*** as an alternive to nesting, consider de-nesting nearby text -- for example, adjacent bullet points might be promoted to simple paragraphs.
+
+*Exceptionally*: 
+
+* two spaces in errata notices
+* two spaces in security advisories
+* two spaces in link:../manual-pages/[manual pages]
+* two spaces in other files that will normally be viewed with a monospaced font.
