Template:Endflatlist

File:Test Template Info-Icon - Version (2).svg Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

"Template:Inline list" redirects here. For a navbox listing templates used within lines of text to mark problems needing attention, see Template:Inline cleanup tags.

This template provides a WCAG/ISO-standards-compliant accessible alternative to comma- or dash- (or other single character-) separated lists, per WP:FLATLIST and WP:HLIST.

Usage

{{flatlist}} starts a horizontal list, such as:

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

This template can be used with or without {{endflatlist}}. For navigation boxes using {{navbox}}, one can set |listclass=hlist, and achieve the same styling without using this template. For image captions, list (i.e. asterisk) markup does not work, so consider using {{hlist}} instead.

Parameters

This is the TemplateData for this template used by TemplateWizard, VisualEditor and other tools. See a monthly parameter usage report for Template:Endflatlist in articles based on its TemplateData.

Technical details

This template uses the .hlist CSS class defined in MediaWiki:Common.css to generate horizontal lists. It causes ordinary html list items to be displayed inline (horizontally), where they would normally display as block elements (vertically). The class also generates the interpuncts between list items and parentheses around nested lists. Some of the CSS used is not compatible with some older browsers, notably Internet Explorer 6 and 7.
