Comments:

1.2.1. Like parentheses, stripes can be used when explaining or clarifying is a digression or have little connection to the rest of the main message, ie, to enclose marginal explanations that would interrupt the sense of what is being said. Its utility is to provide the clarity of writing.

1.2.2.Se makes more necessary the use of parentheses or dashes when there is a clarification in which they appear commas or other punctuation in these cases its use is essential to facilitate the correct interpretation of the message:

What did that day (some purchased fruit, cookies, ceramics and hard, the others only took pictures) had no great importance.

1.2.3. If a listing and some of its constituents requires internal point because it has an explanation or other series referred to it, that explanation or series may be in parentheses. If you do not use the parentheses and commas are preferred to be separated by semicolons elements of the main series. Examples:

1.2.4. Punctuation marks that correspond to the statement in which is inserted in brackets, should never be written before the opening parenthesis, are always placed after the closing. Removing the parenthetical clarification, we can more easily determine if it is a punctuation mark after the parentheses (or stripes). Examples:

1.2.6. If the clarification in parentheses is in the midst of prayer, it is necessary to use the end point of this explanation, although constituting one complete sentence. If enlightenment is the end of the sentence (in which already marked the point) and is another sentence should be written at the end point of clarification, in parentheses, in this case, they should start with a capital of clarification. Examples:
