==== Separating sequences ====
When printed, the sequences may be separated with characters. The choice of characters and their usage varies by the scheme. The following list shows hypothetical examples of separation schemes for the same release (the thirteenth third-level revision to the fourth second-level revision to the second first-level revision):{{or inline|date=December 2020}}

* A scheme may use the same character between all sequences: 2.4.13, 2/4/13, 2-4-13
* A scheme choice of which sequences to separate may be inconsistent, separating some sequences but not others: 2.413
* A scheme's choice of characters may be inconsistent within the same identifier: 2.4_13 (for instance, ''[[Minecraft]]'' Beta incremented from 1.7 to 1.7_01 to 1.7.2)

When a period is used to separate sequences, it ''may'' or ''may not'' represent a decimal point—see "[[#Incrementing sequences|Incrementing sequences]]" section for various interpretation styles.
