separated lists, per WP:UBLIST and WP:PLIST
Usage
[ཞུན་དག]{{plainlist}} starts a plain (i.e. unbulleted) list, such as:
It uses proper HTML list markup, which is more standards-compliant and more accessible than separating list items with <br />
. Detailed reasons for using this template can be found at WP:UBLIST.
This template can be used with or without {{endplainlist}}. It is an alternative to {{unbulleted list}}, which performs the same function in a more concise but less wiki-style manner. Note that {{unbulleted list}} will work inside image captions, whereas {{plainlist}} does not.

Controlling line-breaking
[ཞུན་དག]Template {{nbsp}}
may be used with {{wbr}}
and {{nowrap}}
to control line-breaking in bulletless lists, to prevent wrapped long entries from being confused with multiple entries. See Template:Wbr/doc#Controlling line-breaking in infoboxes for details.
