Template:Flatlist

Template documentation (for the above template, sometimes hidden or invisible)

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

• V
• Jackie Welles
• Dexter DeShawn

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|
* [[V (character)|V]]
* [[Jackie Welles]]
* [[Dexter DeShawn]]
}}

produces:

• V
• Jackie Welles
• Dexter DeShawn

For a numbered list:

{{flatlist|
# [[V (character)|V]]
# [[Jackie Welles]]
# [[Dexter DeShawn]]
}}

produces:

1. V
2. Jackie Welles
3. Dexter DeShawn

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

{{flatlist|
* [[V (character)|V]]

* [[Jackie Welles]]
* [[Dexter DeShawn]]
}}

produces:

• V

• Jackie Welles
• Dexter DeShawn

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

{{flatlist|
* [[V (character)|V]]
** [[Jackie Welles]]
** [[Dexter DeShawn]]
}}

produces:

• V
  • Jackie Welles
  • Dexter DeShawn
