Template loop detected: Template:Plainlist

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

Template:Markup

Alternative syntax

Template:Markup

Parameters

Template:Format TemplateData

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 following style (see MediaWiki:Common.css): <syntaxhighlight lang="css"> .plainlist ul {

   line-height: inherit;
   list-style: none none;
   margin: 0;

} .plainlist ul li {

   margin-bottom: 0;

} </syntaxhighlight>

Wikitext Expanded template HTML
{{Plainlist|
* Example 1
* Example 2
* Example 3
}}
Template:Nowiki2 <syntaxhighlight lang="html">
  • Example 1
  • Example 2
  • Example 3

</syntaxhighlight>
