Template:Flatlist/doc

{{flatlist}} creates a horizontal list of items separated by middots ( · ), for example:

• Iron Ore
• Coal
• Stone

It's handy inside navboxes to format the link lists and is a much better alternative to using the middot template as using too many templates on one page can cause the browser to crash.

Usage

{{flatlist|
* [[Iron Ore]]
* [[Coal]]
* [[Stone]]
}}

produces:

• Iron Ore
• Coal
• Stone

For a numbered list:

{{flatlist|
# [[Iron Ore]]
# [[Coal]]
# [[Stone]]
}}

produces:

1. Iron Ore
2. Coal
3. Stone

If you need to add a break in the line, add a break physically into the code like this:

{{flatlist|
* [[Iron Ore]]

* [[Coal]]
* [[Stone]]
}}

produces:

• Iron Ore

• Coal
• Stone

If you want to add parentheses like a subcategory without actually creating a new subcategory, use nesting like this:

{{flatlist|
* [[Iron Ore]]
** [[Coal]]
** [[Stone]]
}}

produces:

• Iron Ore
  • Coal
  • Stone
