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:
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

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

Parameters
TemplateData for Plainlist
Parameter | Description | Type | Status | |
---|---|---|---|---|
List content | 1 | If supplied, the list, as a normal bulleted list. (Every line should start with an asterisk. No blank lines between lines.) See template page for how this works otherwise. | Content | suggested |
CSS classes | class | Adds a CSS class to the containing div.
| String | optional |
Custom CSS | 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.
| String | optional |
Indent level | indent | Indents the list by a number of standard indents (one indent being 1.6em), particularly handy for inclusion in an indented discussion thread.
| Number | optional |
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.
