Template:Plainlist/doc

Usage
Plainlist starts a plain, or unbulleted, list, such as:

cat

dog

horse

cow

sheep

pig

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

dog

horse

cow

sheep

pig

cat

dog

horse

cow

sheep

pig

 * Example: border:solid 1px silver; background:lightyellow


 * indent – indents the list by a number of standard indents (one indent being 1.6em), particularly handy for inclusion in an indented discussion thread.
