Teamplaid:Plainlist/documentation

This template provides a WCAG/ISO-standards-compliant accessible alternative to <br /> separated lists, per WP:UBLIST and WP:PLIST

Ùsaid - Usage

{{Plainlist}} starts a plain (i.e. unbulleted) list, such as:

• cat
• cù
• dealan-dé
• easgann
• tarbh-nathrach
• cat-mara

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.

Controlling line-breaking
