This template provides a [[Web Content Accessibility Guidelines|WCAG]]/ISO-standards-compliant accessible alternative to comma- or dash- (or other single character-) separated lists, per [[WP:FLATLIST]] and [[MOS:HLIST]].
 
Lists output by {{tl|Flatlist}} and {{tl|Hlist}} are semantically and visually identical, and differ only in the wiki-markup used to create the lists.

This template can be used with or without {{tl|endflatlist}}. For navigation boxes using {{tl|navbox}}, one can set {{para|listclass|hlist}}, and achieve the same styling without using this template. For image captions, list (i.e. asterisk) markup does not work, so consider using {{tl|hlist}} instead.
If this template is used with no parameters, {{tl|endflatlist}} is required. For navigation boxes using {{tl|navbox}}, one can set {{para|listclass|hlist}}, and achieve the same styling without using this template. For image captions, list (i.e. asterisk) markup does not work, so consider using {{tl|hlist}} instead.

This template uses the <code>.hlist</code> [[Cascading Style Sheets|CSS]] class defined in [[MediaWiki:Common.css]] to generate horizontal lists. It causes ordinary html list items to be displayed inline (horizontally), where they would normally display as block elements (vertically). The class also generates the [[interpunct]]s between list items and parentheses around nested lists. Some of the CSS used is not compatible with some older browsers, notably Internet Explorer 6 and 7.
