I recall a comma limit rule with respect to many things (inanimate) in a list e.g. "I have completed an initial patrol of all the interior/exterior points, including: doors, openings, passages, stairways, courtyard, entry gates & surroundings; also, garbage/recycle room & elevaor area @ P1:
How can I make this most readable?
I think you're intending to ask, "how can I make this most readable."
I'd suggest the following for something that is more than 4 items long for the sake of readability:
I have completed an initial patrol of all the interior/exterior points, including:
- doors
- openings
- passages
- stairways
- courtyard
- entry gates & surroundings [NB logical grouping]
- garbage/recycle room
- elevator area @ P1
