Template:Plainlist/s

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

Usage

{{Plainlist}} starts a plain, or unbulleted, list, such as:

• George Washington
• John Adams
• Thomas Jefferson
• James Madison
• James Monroe

It uses proper HTML list markup, which is more standards-compliant and more accessible than separating list items with <br />.

Parameters

• hanging-indent – indents the list items with a "hanging indent". Options are 1em or 2em
• indent – indents the entire list by a number of standard indents (one indent being 1.6em), particularly handy for inclusion in an indented discussion thread.

Example: |indent=2

• lead — Adds vertical whitespace at the start of a list. (Name is from leading in printing.
• style – adds CSS style options.

Example: |style=border:solid 1px silver; background:lightyellow

This CSS style adds a solid silver border around the list, 1 pixel thick, and sets the background color of the list to light yellow.

Example: |style=margin-left:2em; text-indent:-2em

This CSS style creates a "hanging indent" style list often seen in the index of a book.

• class — adds extra CSS classes
