{{Plainlist}} starts a plain, or 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 SV: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
{{Plainlist | * [[cat]] * [[dog]] * [[horse]] * [[cow]] * [[sheep]] * [[pig]] }}
- Alternative syntax
{{Plainlist}} * [[cat]] * [[dog]] * [[horse]] * [[cow]] * [[sheep]] * [[pig]] {{endplainlist}}
NB Already indented lists
Put {{Plainlist| at the start of a line, not indented itself. (It doesn't affect the display of the list itself, but it will affect any surrounding <div>-based formatting.)
{{Plainlist | :* [[cat]] :* [[dog]] :* [[horse]] :* [[cow]] :* [[sheep]] :* [[pig]] }}
- Alternative syntax
{{Plainlist}} :* [[cat]] :* [[dog]] :* [[horse]] :* [[cow]] :* [[sheep]] :* [[pig]] {{endplainlist}}
Parameters
- class – adds a CSS class to the containing div.
- style – adds CSS style options. Complex styles should not be used in articles (per SV:deviations) but may be acceptable on user, project, and talk pages.
- Example:
|style=border:solid 1px silver; background:lightyellow
- Example:
- indent – indents the list by a number of standard indents (one indent being 1.6em), particularly handy for inclusion in an indented discussion thread.
- Example:
|indent=2
- Example:

.plainlist ul li {margin-bottom:0}
