Template:Redirect Script error: No such module "Message box".
This template provides a WCAG/ISO-standards-compliant accessible alternative to comma- or dash- (or other single character-) separated lists, per WP:FLATLIST and WP:HLIST. Template:TOC limit
Contents
Usage
{{flatlist}} starts a horizontal list, such as:
This template can be used with or without {{endflatlist}}. For navigation boxes using {{navbox}}, one can set Template:Para, 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
nowraplinksto 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: Template:Para
- indent
- Indents the list by a number of standard indents, one indent being 1.6em. (Useful in an indented discussion thread.)
- Example: Template:Para

Technical details
This template uses the .hlist 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 interpuncts 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.
