Template documentationThis template provides a WCAG/ISO-standards-compliant accessible alternative to <br /> separated lists, per WP:UBLIST and WP:PLIST
Usage
{{plainlist}} starts a plain (i.e. unbulleted) list, such as:
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.
This template can be used with or without {{endplainlist}}. It is an alternative to {{unbulleted list}}, which performs the same function in a more concise but less wiki-style manner. Note that {{unbulleted list}} will work inside image captions, whereas {{plainlist}} does not.
Examples
Alternative syntax
Parameters
Controlling line-breaking
Template Template:Tlx may be used with Template:Tlx and Template:Tlx 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
{{Plainlist}} works by constructing a div with the CSS class "plainlist" which has the following style (see MediaWiki:Common.css):
.plainlist ul {
line-height: inherit;
list-style: none none;
margin: 0;
}
.plainlist ul li {
margin-bottom: 0;
}
| Wikitext | Expanded template | HTML |
|---|---|---|
{{Plainlist|
* Example 1
* Example 2
* Example 3
}}
|
Template:Nowiki2 | <div class="plainlist">
<ul>
<li>Example 1</li>
<li>Example 2</li>
<li>Example 3</li>
</ul>
</div>
