In contemporary English, standard use of the colon includes separating cause-and-effect statements, separating the introduction to a list and the list itself, and separating a general statement with a set of explanatory statements organized as independent clauses. A colon does not properly separate any part of an independent clause with any other part of the same, as in the improper sentence, "What he meant by the claim was that he: did not know!"
