Template:Plainlist

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

This template provides a WCAG/ISO-standards-compliant accessible alternative to <br /> separated lists.

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 />.

Examples

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

• cat
• dog
• horse
• cow
• sheep
• pig

}}

Parameters

<templatedata> { "params": { "1": { "label": "List content", "description": "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.", "type": "content", "suggested": true }, "class": { "label": "CSS classes", "description": "Adds a CSS class to the containing div.", "type": "string", "default": "The class \"plainlist\" is always applied." }, "style": { "label": "Custom CSS", "description": "Adds CSS style options.

           "example": "border:solid 1px silver; background:lightyellow"

}, "indent": { "label": "Indent level",

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

"type": "number",

           "example": "2"

} } } </templatedata>

Technical details

{{Plainlist}} works by constructing a div with the CSS class "plainlist" which has the styles listed in Template:Plainlist/styles.css.
