Template:Compact description list

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

{{Compact description list}} styles a description list so that terms and matching descriptions are shown on the same line. This saves vertical space and can improve readability when the descriptions are extremely brief, while maintaining the semantic HTML structure.

Currently, this template only supports a single parameter, |wrap=. Its value must be the complete wikitext for the description list, which may be created using wikitext syntax, HTML tags, or the {{glossary}} family of templates. Do not wrap the description list in any other element before wrapping it in this template, as the <dl> element must be a direct child of this template's wrapper element.

Here is an example:

{{Compact description list|wrap=
; Article title: [[Fibonacci sequence]]
; OEIS sequence number: {{OEIS link|A000045}}
; First 10 terms
: 0
: 1
: 1
: 2
: 3
: 5
: 8
: 13
: 21
: 34
}}

This becomes:
