Template:Li/doc

Li takes a list of up to 20 string elements, together with two parameters, one which is prefixed to each element and one which is suffixed to each element.

{{Li|p_str|s_str|ele_1|ele_2|...|ele_n}} returns

p_str ele_1 s_str
p_str ele_2 s_str
.
.
.
p_str ele_n s_str

with one space added after the p_str. For example

{{Li|<li>|</li>|dog|cat|mouse}} returns

<li> dog</li>
<li> cat</li>
<li> mouse</li>

The option num adds numbering starting at the value of num when set.  For example

{{Li|num=1.1.|<li>|</li>|dog|cat|mouse}} returns

<li>1.1.1 dog</li>
<li>1.1.2 cat</li>
<li>1.1.3 mouse</li>

Use num="" (empty quoted string) to add numbering starting at 1.  For example

{{Li|num=""|<li>|</li>|dog|cat|mouse}} returns

<li>1 dog</li>
<li>2 cat</li>
<li>3 mouse</li>

The options prolog and epilog prepend and appemd to the list.

{{Li|prolog=<ul>|epilog=</ul>|num=1.1.|<li>|</li>|dog|cat|mouse}} returns

<ul>
<li>1.1.1 dog</li>
<li>1.1.2 cat</li>
<li>1.1.3 mouse</li>
</ul>

The option prefix inserts another copy of ele_i followed by prefix after p_str.

For example you may hope

{{Li|prefix=">|num=1.1.|<li><a href="#|</a></li>|dog|cat|mouse}} returns

<li><a href="#dog">1.1.1 dog</a></li>
<li><a href="#cat">1.1.2 cat</a></li>
<li><a href="#mouse">1.1.3 mouse</a></li>

which does not display in wiki, but you can use

{{Li|prefix={{!}}|num=1.1.|<li>{{!((}}#|{{))!}}</li>|dog|cat|mouse}}

which does produce the source

<li><a href="#dog">1.1.1 dog</a></li>
<li><a href="#cat">1.1.2 cat</a></li>
<li><a href="#mouse">1.1.3 mouse</a></li>

This is equivalent in use to

<li>[[#dog|1.1.1 dog]]</li>
<li>[[#cat|1.1.2 cat]]</li>
<li>[[#mouse|1.1.3 mouse]]</li>


The call

{{Li|prolog=<ul>|epilog=</ul>|prefix={{!}}|num=1.1.|<li>{{!((}}#|{{))!}}</li>|
dog|cat|mouse}}

appears below.

• 1.1.1 dog
• 1.1.2 cat
• 1.1.3 mouse

An extra detail is that a | bar must end a line before a carraige return like

{{Li|
prolog=<ul>|epilog=</ul>|
prefix={{!}}|num=1.1.|
<li>{{!((}}#|{{))!}}</li>|
dog|
cat|
mouse}}

but it does not work for

{{Li|
prolog=<ul>|epilog=</ul>|
prefix={{!}}|num=1.1.|
<li>{{!((}}#|{{))!}}</li>
|dog
|cat
|mouse}}
.
