{{Uses TemplateStyles|Template:Plainlist/styles.css}}
This template provides a [[w:Web Content Accessibility Guidelines|WCAG]]/ISO-standards-compliant accessible alternative to <code><nowiki><br /></nowiki></code> separated lists.

== Usage ==
{{tl|plainlist}} starts a plain (i.e. unbulleted) list, such as:

{{plainlist|
* [[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 {{tag|br|s}}.

== Examples ==
<nowiki>
{{plainlist|
* [[cat]]
* [[dog]]
* [[horse]]
* [[cow]]
* [[sheep]]
* [[pig]]
}}
</nowiki>
->
{{plainlist|
* [[cat]]
* [[dog]]
* [[horse]]
* [[cow]]
* [[sheep]]
* [[pig]]
}}
}}


== Parameters ==
<templatedata>

	}
}
</templatedata>

== Technical details ==
{{tl|Plainlist}} works by constructing a [[span and div|div]] with the [[Cascading Style Sheets|CSS]] class "plainlist" which has the styles listed in [[Template:Plainlist/styles.css]].

{| class="wikitable"
! Wikitext
! Expanded template
! HTML
|- style="vertical-align:top;"
| class="nowrap" | <pre>
{{Plainlist|
* Example 1
* Example 2
* Example 3
}}
</pre>
| class="nowrap" | <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
<templatestyles src="Plainlist/styles.css"/><div class="plainlist " >
* Example 1
* Example 2
* Example 3
</div>
</syntaxhighlight>
| <syntaxhighlight lang="html">
<div class="plainlist">
<ul>
<li>Example 1</li>
<li>Example 2</li>
<li>Example 3</li>
</ul>
</div>
</syntaxhighlight>
|}
