Template:Indented plainlist

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

This template is very similar to {{plainlist}}, except that it automatically indents parts of long items that are wrapped onto a new line. This makes it easier to tell apart multiple such items when width is limited—e.g. in an {{infobox}}—and eliminates the need for a bulleted list.

{{Indented plainlist}} provides a WCAG-compliant and accessible alternative to <br />-separated lists, per MOS:UBLIST and MOS:PLIST.
