This 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:

  • 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 <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.

Parameters

Controlling line-breaking

Template may be used with and {{nowrap}} to control line-breaking in bulletless lists, to prevent wrapped long entries from being confused with multiple entries. See for details.

Technical details

{{Plainlist}} works by constructing a div with the CSS class "plainlist" which has the styles listed in Template:Plainlist/styles.css.

Wikitext Expanded template HTML
{{Plainlist|
* Example 1
* Example 2
* Example 3
}}
<div class="plainlist">
<ul>
<li>Example 1</li>
<li>Example 2</li>
<li>Example 3</li>
</ul>
</div>
