This template provides a [[Web Content Accessibility Guidelines|WCAG]]/ISO-standards-compliant accessible alternative to <code><nowiki><br /></nowiki></code> separated lists, per [[WP:UBLIST]] and [[WP:PLIST]] == Usage == {{tl|plainlist}} starts a plain (i.e. unbulleted) list, such as: {{plainlist| * [[cat]] * [[dog]] * [[horse]] * [[cow]] * [[sheep]] * [[pig]] }} It uses proper HTML list markup, which is more standards-compliant and more accessible than separating list items with {{tag|br|s}}. Detailed reasons for using this template can be found at [[WP:UBLIST]]. This template can be used with or without {{tl|endplainlist}}. It is an alternative to {{tl|unbulleted list}}, which performs the same function in a more concise but less wiki-style manner. Note that {{tl|unbulleted list}} will work inside image captions, whereas {{tl|plainlist}} does not. == Examples == {{Markup |<nowiki> {{plainlist| * [[cat]] * [[dog]] * [[horse]] * [[cow]] * [[sheep]] * [[pig]] }} </nowiki> | {{plainlist| * [[cat]] * [[dog]] * [[horse]] * [[cow]] * [[sheep]] * [[pig]] }} }} === Alternative syntax === {{Markup |<nowiki> {{plainlist}} * [[cat]] * [[dog]] * [[horse]] * [[cow]] * [[sheep]] * [[pig]] {{endplainlist}} </nowiki> | {{plainlist}} * [[cat]] * [[dog]] * [[horse]] * [[cow]] * [[sheep]] * [[pig]] {{endplainlist}} }} == Parameters == {{Format TemplateData|JSON= { "params": { "1": { "label": "List content", "description": "If supplied, the list, as a normal bulleted list. (Every line should start with an asterisk. No blank lines between lines.) See template page for how this works otherwise.", "type": "content", "suggested": true }, "class": { "label": "CSS classes", "description": "Adds a CSS class to the containing div.", "type": "string", "default": "The class \"plainlist\" is always applied." }, "style": { "label": "Custom CSS", "description": "Adds CSS style options. Complex styles should not be used in articles (per [[WP:Deviations]]) but may be acceptable on user, project, and talk pages.", "type": "string", "example": "border:solid 1px silver; background:lightyellow" }, "indent": { "label": "Indent level", "description": "Indents the list by a number of standard indents (one indent being 1.6em), particularly handy for inclusion in an indented discussion thread.", "type": "number", "example": "2" } }, "description": "This template provides a WCAG/ISO-standards-compliant accessible alternative to <br /> separated lists, per [[WP:UBLIST]] and [[WP:PLIST]]. It uses proper HTML list markup, which is more standards-compliant and more accessible than separating list items with <br />. Detailed reasons for using this template can be found at WP:UBLIST." } }} === Controlling line-breaking === Template {{tlx|nbsp}} may be used with {{tlx|wbr}} and {{tlx|nowrap}} to control line-breaking in bulletless lists, to prevent wrapped long entries from being confused with multiple entries. See [[Template:Wbr/doc#Controlling line-breaking in infoboxes]] for details. == Technical details == {{tl|Plainlist}} works by constructing a [[span and div|div]] with the [[Cascading Style Sheets|CSS]] class "plainlist" which has the following style (see [[MediaWiki:Common.css]]): <syntaxhighlight lang="css"> .plainlist ul { line-height: inherit; list-style: none none; margin: 0; } .plainlist ul li { margin-bottom: 0; } </syntaxhighlight> {| class="wikitable" ! Wikitext ! Expanded template ! HTML |- style="vertical-align:top;" | class="nowrap" | <pre> {{Plainlist| * Example 1 * Example 2 * Example 3 }} </pre> | class="nowrap" | {{nowiki2|tag=pre| {{Plainlist| * Example 1 * Example 2 * Example 3 }} }} | <syntaxhighlight lang="html"> <div class="plainlist"> <ul> <li>Example 1</li> <li>Example 2</li> <li>Example 3</li> </ul> </div> </syntaxhighlight> |} == Redirects == * {{tl|Startplainlist}} == See also == * {{tl|unbulleted list}} β essentially the same but uses <code><nowiki>| ... | ... | ...</nowiki></code> instead of <code><nowiki>|* ... * ... * ...</nowiki></code> * {{tl|flatlist}} and {{tl|hlist}} (replacements for comma- or dash-separated lists) * {{tl|bulleted list}} * {{tl|Indented plainlist}} * {{tl|ordered list}} * {{section link|Template:Infobox person#Inline lists}} for more information on creating lists within the Infobox family of templates, with examples in the following {{section link|Template:Infobox person#Examples|nopage=y}} {{navbox lists}} <includeonly>{{Sandbox other|| <!-- CATEGORIES HERE, THANKS --> [[Category:List formatting and function templates|Plainlist]] [[Category:Semantic markup templates]] [[Category:Typing-aid templates|Plainlist]] }}</includeonly>
