== Lists == | |||
Lists are commonly used on BG3Wiki. Lists should only be used when the presentation or layout is easier to parse and understand. In other circumstances, prose is preferred. | |||
For accessibility reasons, lists should always be used with care and consideration. | |||
=== Description lists === | |||
Description lists are used for lists that consist of names and values, terms and definitions, items and descriptions or questions and answers. They are added using semi-colons and colons: | |||
{{comparison table|example= | |||
<pre>Description list: | |||
; Hit points : Determines how much damage a creature can take before being Downed. | |||
; Armour Class : Determines how difficult it is to hit a creature.</pre>|result= | |||
Description list: | |||
; Hit points : Determines how much damage a creature can take before being Downed. | |||
; Armour Class : Determines how difficult it is to hit a creature}} | |||
Description lists can be formatted similar to a table with the {{t link|table list}}, but support for this is limited. | |||
=== Ordered and unordered lists === | |||
Ordered and unordered lists can be used to list items. | |||
These lists are intended for items that consist largely of names or simple phrases. If a bulleted list item consists of several sentences, it is generally best {{em|not}} to include it on a list, and instead work it into the textual body of the article. | |||
; Important considerations | |||
* Only include a full stop at the end of an item if it consists of a full sentence. | |||
* Do not use '''bold''' typeface to format the list – use a description list instead. | |||
* Do not leave blank spaces between items (asterisks), since this breaks the single list into multiple lists. | |||
==== Bulleted lists ==== | |||
Bulleted lists, or ''unordered lists'', are added using asterisks (*): | |||
{{comparison table|example= | |||
<pre> | |||
List of bulleted items: | |||
* unordered item | |||
* unordered item</pre>|result= | |||
List of bulleted items: | |||
* unordered item | |||
* unordered item}} | |||
===== Indented bullets ===== | |||
Bulleted list items can be indented using double asterisks: | |||
{{comparison table|example= | |||
<pre>List with indented item: | |||
* unordered item | |||
** indented item</pre>|result= | |||
List with indented item: | |||
* unordered item | |||
** indented item}} | |||
==== Numbered lists ==== | |||
Numbered lists, or ''ordered lists'' are used where numerical order (arrangement) is important. They are added using hash symbols (#): | |||
{{comparison table|example= | |||
<pre>List with numbered items: | |||
# numbered item | |||
# numbered item</pre>|result= | |||
List with numbered items: | |||
# numbered item | |||
# numbered item}} | |||
=== Horizontal lists === | |||
Horizontal lists are used in templates such as navboxes or infoboxes, but can also be used in article contents where a vertical list may be undesirable. They are added simply by listing items in succession, in a single line: | |||
: item 1, item 2, item 3 ... | |||
: or | |||
: item 1 • item 2 • item 3 ... | |||
=== Tables === | |||
Due to accessibility concerns, tables should generally only be used to list complex data that could not be listed in any other way. | |||
Tables are also used on cargo pages and selectively on project and help pages. | |||
Tables should be avoided for layout or presentation purposes, except when absolutely necessary (such as for navboxes, or infoboxes). | |||
: {{strong|Notice}}: The [[Guide:Guide namespace|guide]] and [[Modding:Modding resources|modding]] namespaces may use tables more freely. | |||
