I came across this molecule with the following IUPAC name: 1,4-Diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane
What do the dots inside the brackets mean, or where can I read about the IUPAC guidelines that require this?

The dots are used in bicyclic compounds and indicate the number of carbons in each bridge. DABCO has three bridges, each with two carbons.
