 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Flatlist It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |

This template provides a WCAG/ISO-standards-compliant accessible alternative to comma- or dash- (or other single character-) separated lists, per WP:FLATLIST and MOS:HLIST.
Lists output by {{Flatlist}} and {{Hlist}} are semantically and visually identical, and differ only in the wiki-markup used to create the lists.
Usage
{{flatlist}} starts a horizontal list, such as:
- cat
- dog
- horse
- cow
- sheep
- pig
If this template is used with no parameters, {{endflatlist}} is required. For navigation boxes using {{navbox}}, one can set |listclass=hlist, and achieve the same styling without using this template. For image captions, list (i.e. asterisk) markup does not work, so consider using {{hlist}} instead.

Technical details
This template uses the .hlist CSS class defined in MediaWiki:Common.css to generate horizontal lists. It causes ordinary html list items to be displayed inline (horizontally), where they would normally display as block elements (vertically). The class also generates the interpuncts between list items and parentheses around nested lists.
