Template:Endflatlist

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-, dash- or other single character-delimited lists, per Manual of Style/Lists § Horizontal lists and Manual of Style:Accessibility § Horizontal lists.

Lists output by {{Flatlist}} and {{Hlist}} are semantically and visually identical, differing only in the underlying wiki-markup they expect as input to create the lists.

Usage

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

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

If this template is used with no parameters, {{Endflatlist}} is required. 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. leading 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 Template:Hlist/styles.css to generate horizontal lists. It causes ordinary HTML list items to be displayed inline (horizontally), where normally they would be displayed as block elements (vertically). The class also generates the interpuncts between list items and parentheses around nested lists.
