Editing Slash (punctuation) (section)

====Connecting non-contrasting items <span class="anchor" id="And"></span>====
The slash is also used as a shorter substitute for the conjunction "and" or [[inclusive or]] (i.e., A or B or both),<ref name="cms104" /> typically in situations where it fills the role of a hyphen or [[en dash]]. For example, the "Hemingway/Faulkner generation" might be used to discuss the era of the [[Lost Generation]] inclusive of the people around and affected by both [[Ernest Hemingway|Hemingway]] and [[William Faulkner|Faulkner]]. This use is sometimes proscribed, as by ''[[New Hart's Rules]]'', the style guide for the [[Oxford University Press]].<ref name="solidhart" />
