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.
Examples
Alternative syntax
Parameters
Controlling line-breaking
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 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 styles listed in Template:Plainlist/styles.css.
| Wikitext | Expanded template | HTML |
|---|---|---|
{{Plainlist|

* Example 2
* Example 3

Template:Nowiki2 | <div class="plainlist">
<ul>
<li>Example 1</li>
<li>Example 2</li>
