Shortcut Startplainlist

This template provides a WCAG/ISO standards-compliant accessible alternative to <br /> separated lists, per en:WP:UBLIST and en:WP:PLIST.

Usage[𐌹𐌽𐌼𐌰𐌹𐌳𐌴𐌹]

{{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 en: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.

Optional parameters[𐌹𐌽𐌼𐌰𐌹𐌳𐌴𐌹]

class – adds a CSS class to the containing div.
style – adds CSS style options. Complex styles should not be used in articles (per en:wp:deviations) but may be acceptable on user, project, and talk pages.

Example: |style=background:lightyellow;border:solid 1px silver

indent – indents the list by a number of standard indents (one indent being 1.6em), particularly handy for inclusion in an indented discussion thread.

Example: |indent=2

Controlling line-breaking[𐌹𐌽𐌼𐌰𐌹𐌳𐌴𐌹]

Template {{Nbsp}} may be used with {{Wbr}} and {{Nowrap}} to control line-breaking in bulletless lists, to prevent wrapped long entries from being confused with multiple entries. See 𐍆𐌰𐌿𐍂𐌰𐌼𐌴𐌻𐌴𐌹𐌽𐍃:Wbr/doc#Controlling line-breaking in infoboxes for details.

Technical details[𐌹𐌽𐌼𐌰𐌹𐌳𐌴𐌹]

{{Plainlist}} works by constructing a div with the CSS class "plainlist" which has the following styles for the contained unordered lists:

.plainlist ul {
    line-height: inherit;
    list-style: none none;
    margin: 0;
}
.plainlist ul li {
    margin-bottom: 0;
}
