Template:Indented plainlist/doc

From Roses, Tulips, & Liberty

This template is very similar to {{plainlist}}, except that it automatically indents parts of long items that are wrapped onto a new line. This makes it easier to tell apart multiple such items when width is limited—e.g. in an {{infobox}}—and eliminates the need for a bulleted list.

{{Indented plainlist}} provides a WCAG-compliant and accessible alternative to <br />-separated lists, per MOS:UBLIST and MOS:PLIST.

Usage

Example
First labelSome data
Awards

* [[Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath]] (1896)
* [[Chevalier dans l'Ordre de la Légion d'Honneur]] (1899)
  }}
 |label2    = Some more data
}}
