Module:List

Usage

Basic usage

{{unbulleted list|first item|second item|third item|...}}

All parameters

{{unbulleted list
|first item|second item|third item|...

|item_style  = style for all li tags
|item1_style = style for first li tag |item2_style = style for second li tag |...
}}

Parameters

style – a custom CSS style for the <div>...</div> tags surrounding the list, e.g. font-size: 90%;.

Controlling line-breaking

Template {{nbsp}} may be used with {{wbr}} and {{nowrap}} to control line-breaking in bulletless lists, to prevent wrapped long entries from being confused with multiple entries. See Template:Wbr/doc#Controlling line-breaking in infoboxes for details.

Technical details

{{Unbulleted list}} works by constructing a div with the CSS class "plainlist" which has the following style (see MediaWiki:Common.css):

.plainlist ul {
    line-height: inherit;
    list-style: none none;
    margin: 0;
}
.plainlist ul li {
    margin-bottom: 0;
}
