Here, linebreaks still cannot occur inside the list item, even if they are inside <pre>, and the HTML comment trick does not work inside <pre>, which is why this technique is only suitable for short code examples. For longer ones, see the <syntaxhighlight> MediaWiki tag. The HTML comment trick does work between elements inside the same list item:
An unordered (bulleted) list. The type of list item marker can be specified in an HTML attribute: < ul type = "foo" >; or in a CSS declaration: ul {list-style-type: foo;} – replacing foo with one of the following (the same values are used in HTML and CSS): disc (the default), square, or circle.
A generic list box. A list box is a graphical control element that allows the user to select one or more items from a list contained within a static, multiple line text box. The user clicks inside the box on an item to select it, sometimes in combination with the ⇧ Shift or Ctrl in order to make multiple selections. "Control-clicking" an item ...
MediaWiki:Common.css: nowraplinks Prevents line wraps inside links, but allows word wraps between the links and in normal text. Useful for instance for long link lists. MediaWiki:Common.css {{nowraplinks}}, {{nowraplinks end}}, {} ns--1, ns-0 - ns-101 Set in HTML body element.
A link relation is a descriptive attribute attached to a hyperlink in order to define the type of the link, or the relationship between the source and destination resources. The attribute can be used by automated systems, or can be presented to a user in a different way. In HTML these are designated with the rel attribute on link, a, or area ...
The MediaWiki software uses any of them for a single forced line break. All of them are converted to <br /> in the HTML that browsers read. MediaWiki also converts </br> to <br />, but this form is invalid. Please correct these tags. For content that is semantically a list, such as in infoboxes, actual list markup is preferred. See § Lists below.
They are not appropriate for large paragraphs. Simple bulleted lists are created by starting a line with * and adding the text of a list item, one item per * line. List items should be formatted consistently. Summary: Prefer sentence case. Prefer using full sentences, and avoid mixing sentences and fragments as items in the same list.
For these reasons, and in support of a more semantic web, attributes attached to elements within HTML should describe their semantic purpose, rather than merely their intended display properties in one particular medium.
