Template:Plainlist

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

{{Plainlist|}} starts a plain, or unbulleted, list, such as:

• cat
• dog
• horse
• cow
• sheep
• pig

It uses proper HTML list markup, which is more standards-compliant and more accessible then separating list items with <br></br>.

This template can be used with or without {{endplainlist}}. It is intended to replace {{Unbulleted list}}, which performs the same function, but in a more cumbersome manner.

Examples

{{plainlist |
* [[cat]]
* [[dog]]
* [[horse]]
* [[cow]]
* [[sheep]]
* [[pig]]
}}

• cat
• dog
• horse
• cow
• sheep
• pig

Alternative syntax

{{plainlist}}
* [[cat]]
* [[dog]]
* [[horse]]
* [[cow]]
* [[sheep]]
* [[pig]]
{{endplainlist}}

• cat
• dog
• horse
• cow
• sheep
• pig

Parameters

• 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

• style – 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.

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