Wiki: An interpunct( · ), also called an interpoint,[1] is apunctuation mark consisting of a dot used for interword separation in ancient Latinscript and in some modern languages as a stand-alone sign inside a word.
We use it in math expression, a lot. However, I didn’t know that the Lencet journals use it, too, as the decimal point! (Luckily, I had a small voice telling me to play safe, or I would have lowered these darn points one by one!)
Formatting of text (for Lencet)
Type a single space at the end of each sentence
Do not use bold face for emphasis within text
We use a comma before the final "and" or "or" in a list of items
Type decimal points midline (ie, 23·4, not 23.4). To create a midline decimal on a PC: hold down ALT key and type 0183 on the number pad, or on a Mac: ALT shift 9
Numbers one to ten are written out in words unless they are used as a unit of measurement, except in figures and tables
Use single hard-returns to separate paragraphs. Do not use tabs or indents to start a paragraph
Do not use the automated features of your software, such as hyphenation, endnotes, headers, or footers (especially for references). Please use page numbering
