More actions
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 en:WP:UBLIST.
Examples
{{plainlist|
* [[cat]]
* [[dog]]
* [[horse]]
* [[cow]]
* [[sheep]]
* [[pig]]
}}

- Example:

- Example:
- indent – indents the list by a number of standard indents (one indent being 1.6em), particularly handy for inclusion in an indented discussion thread.
