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

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

{{flatlist|
* [[cat]]
* [[dog]]
* [[horse]]
* [[cow]]
* [[sheep]]
* [[pig]]
}}

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 <tt>nowraplinks</tt> 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: {{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==
<source lang="moin">
{{flatlist|
* [[cat]]
* [[dog]]
* [[horse]]
* [[cow]]
* [[sheep]]
* [[pig]]
}}
</source>

produces:

{{flatlist|
* [[cat]]
* [[dog]]
* [[horse]]
* [[cow]]
* [[sheep]]
* [[pig]]
}}

===Alternative syntax===
<source lang="moin">
{{startflatlist}}
* [[cat]]
* [[dog]]
* [[horse]]
* [[cow]]
* [[sheep]]
* [[pig]]
{{endflatlist}}
</source>

produces:

{{startflatlist}}
* [[cat]]
* [[dog]]
* [[horse]]
* [[cow]]
* [[sheep]]
* [[pig]]
{{endflatlist}}

===Syntax for ordered lists===
<pre>
{{flatlist|
# [[first]]
# [[second]]
# [[third]]
# [[fourth]]
# [[fifth]]
# [[sixth]]
}}
</pre>

produces:

{{flatlist|
# [[first]]
# [[second]]
# [[third]]
# [[fourth]]
# [[fifth]]
# [[sixth]]
}}

=== Using optional parameters ===
<source lang="moin">
{{flatlist |indent=2
|style=border:solid 1px silver; background:lightyellow;
|class=nowraplinks |
* [[Alpine skiing at the 1936 Winter Olympics]]
* [[Alpine skiing at the 1948 Winter Olympics]]
* [[Alpine skiing at the 1952 Winter Olympics]]
* [[Alpine skiing at the 1956 Winter Olympics]]
* [[Alpine skiing at the 1960 Winter Olympics]]
* [[Alpine skiing at the 1964 Winter Olympics]]
}}
</source>

produces:

{{flatlist |indent=2 |style=border:solid 1px silver; background:lightyellow; |class=nowraplinks |
* [[Alpine skiing at the 1936 Winter Olympics]]
* [[Alpine skiing at the 1948 Winter Olympics]]
* [[Alpine skiing at the 1952 Winter Olympics]]
* [[Alpine skiing at the 1956 Winter Olympics]]
* [[Alpine skiing at the 1960 Winter Olympics]]
* [[Alpine skiing at the 1964 Winter Olympics]]
}}

{{flatlist|
* cat
* dog
* horse
* cow
* sheep
* pig
}}
==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.
