Module:Cslist

Module documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Module to implement Template:Cslist, which creates a horizontal list similar to Template:Hlist but using comma separators instead of mid-dots.

It can take as many list items as desired, and also an optional |semi=, which when set to true or yes will use a semicolon as separator in place of the comma.

Note: the unordered list which is generated is good for accessibility, but really is only useful in tables and infoboxes as an alternative to using {{hlist}}. It should not be used in running prose.

Examples

{{cslist | first item | second item | third item | etc}} → first item second item third item etc

{{cslist | first item | second item | third item | etc |semi=true}} → first item second item third item etc
