Template:Plainlist

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

Description

This template provides a WCAG/ISO-standards-compliant accessible alternative to <br /> separated lists, which should not be used.

Usage

{{Plainlist}} starts a plain (i.e. unbulleted) list. 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.

Examples

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