Template:Flatlist

Usage

{{flatlist}} starts a horizontal list, such as:

• • cat
  • dog
  • horse
  • cow
  • sheep
  • pig

This template can be used with or without {{endflatlist}}. For navigation boxes using {{navbox}}, one can set |listclass=hlist, and achieve the same styling without using this template. For image captions, list (i.e. asterisk) markup does not work, so consider using {{hlist}} instead.

Optional parameters

class

Adds a CSS class to the containing div. Use nowraplinks to prevent links from wrapping.

style

Adds CSS styling to the containing div. Complex styles should not be used in articles (per WP:Deviations) but may be acceptable on user, project and talk pages.

Example: |style=border:solid 1px silver; background:lightyellow

indent

Indents the list by a number of standard indents, one indent being 1.6em. (Useful in an indented discussion thread.)

Example: |indent=2
