This template provides a {{w|Web Content Accessibility Guidelines|WCAG}}/ISO-standards-compliant accessible alternative to comma- or dash- (or other single character-) separated lists, per {{w|WP:FLATLIST}} and {{w|WP:HLIST}}.
{{TOC limit|3}}

==Usage==
{{tlf|flatlist}} starts a horizontal list, such as:

{{flatlist|
* [[iLife]]
* [[iMac]]
* [[iPad]]
* [[iPhone]]
* [[iPod]]
* [[iWork]]
}}

This template can be used with or without {{tl|endflatlist}}. For navigation boxes using {{tl|navbox}}, one can set {{para|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 {{tl|hlist}} instead.

==Optional parameters==
; class
: Adds a CSS class to the containing div. Use <code>nowraplinks</code> to prevent links from wrapping.

; style
: Adds CSS styling to the containing div. Complex styles should not be used in articles (per {{w|WP:Deviations}}) but may be acceptable on user, project and talk pages.
: Example: {{para|<var>style</var>|<var>border:solid 1px silver; background:lightyellow</var>}}

; indent
: Indents the list by a number of standard indents, one indent being 1.6[[Em (typography)|em]]. (Useful in an indented discussion thread.)
: Example: {{para|<var>indent</var>|<var>2</var>}}

==Examples==
<syntaxhighlight lang="moin">
 {{flatlist|
 * [[iLife]]
 * [[iMac]]
 * [[iPad]]
 * [[iPhone]]
 * [[iPod]]
 * [[iWork]]
 }}
</syntaxhighlight>

produces:

{{flatlist|
* [[iLife]]
* [[iMac]]
* [[iPad]]
* [[iPhone]]
* [[iPod]]
* [[iWork]]
}}

===Alternative syntax===
<syntaxhighlight lang="moin">
 {{startflatlist}}
 * [[iLife]]
 * [[iMac]]
 * [[iPad]]
 * [[iPhone]]
 * [[iPod]]
 * [[iWork]]
 {{endflatlist}}
</syntaxhighlight>

produces:

{{startflatlist}}
* [[iLife]]
* [[iMac]]
* [[iPad]]
* [[iPhone]]
* [[iPod]]
* [[iWork]]
{{endflatlist}}

===Syntax for ordered lists===
<pre>
{{flatlist|
# [[iPhone 3G]]
# [[iPhone 4]]
# [[iPhone 5]]
# [[iPhone 6]]
# [[iPhone 7]]
# [[iPhone 8]]
}}
</pre>

produces:

{{flatlist|
# [[iPhone 3G]]
# [[iPhone 4]]
# [[iPhone 5]]
# [[iPhone 6]]
# [[iPhone 7]]
# [[iPhone 8]]
}}

=== Using optional parameters ===
<syntaxhighlight lang="moin">
 {{flatlist |indent=2 
 |style=border:solid 1px silver; background:lightyellow; 
 |class=nowraplinks |
 * [[Worldwide Developers Conference 2000]]
 * [[Worldwide Developers Conference 2002]]
 * [[Worldwide Developers Conference 2004]]
 * [[Worldwide Developers Conference 2006]]
 * [[Worldwide Developers Conference 2008]]
 * [[Worldwide Developers Conference 2010]]
 }}
</syntaxhighlight>

produces:

{{flatlist |indent=2 |style=border:solid 1px silver; background:lightyellow; |class=nowraplinks |
* [[Worldwide Developers Conference 2000]]
* [[Worldwide Developers Conference 2002]]
* [[Worldwide Developers Conference 2004]]
* [[Worldwide Developers Conference 2006]]
* [[Worldwide Developers Conference 2008]]
* [[Worldwide Developers Conference 2010]]
}}

==Technical details==
This template uses the <code>.hlist</code> [[Cascading Style Sheets|CSS]] class defined in [[MediaWiki:Common.css]] to generate horizontal lists. It causes ordinary html list items to be displayed inline (horizontally), where they would normally display as block elements (vertically). The class also generates the [[interpunct]]s between list items and parentheses around nested lists. Some of the CSS used is not compatible with all browsers, notably Internet Explorer 6 and 7.
