Shortcut {{PL}}

This template uses TemplateStyles:

Template:Plainlist/styles.css

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

Usage

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

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.
