== Parameters ==

* Positional parameters (<code>1</code>, <code>2</code>, <code>3</code>...) - these are the list items. If no list items are present, the module will output nothing.
* <code>start</code> - sets the start item for ordered lists. This can be a start number for numbered lists, or a start letter for alphabetical lists. Horizontal ordered lists only support numbers.
* <code>type</code> - the type of marker used in ordered lists. Possible values are "1" for numbers (the default), "A" for uppercase letters, "a" for lowercase letters, "I" for uppercase [[Roman numerals]], and "i" for lowercase Roman numerals. Not supported in horizontal ordered lists. See also the <code>list_style_type</code> parameter.
* <code>list_style_type</code> - the type of marker used in ordered lists. This uses CSS styling, and has more types available than the <code>type</code> parameter, which uses an [[html attribute]]. Possible values are listed at [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/list-style-type MDN's list-style-type page]. Support may vary by browser. <code>list-style-type</code> is an alias for this parameter.
* <code>class</code> - a custom class for the {{tag|div}} tags surrounding the list, e.g. <code>plainlinks</code>.
* <code>style</code> - a custom css style for the {{tag|div}} tags surrounding the list, e.g. <code>font-size: 90%;</code>.
* <code>list_style</code> - a custom css style for the list itself. The format is the same as for the {{para|style}} parameter.
* <code>item_style</code> - a custom css style for all of the list items (the {{tag|li}} tags). The format is the same as for the {{para|style}} parameter.
* <code>item1_style</code>, <code>item2_style</code>, <code>item3_style</code>... - custom css styles for each of the list items. The format is the same as for the {{para|style}} parameter.
* <code>item1_value</code>, <code>item2_value</code>, <code>item3_value</code>... - custom value for the given list item. List items following the one given will increment from the specified value. The value should be a positive integer. (Note that this option only has an effect on ordered lists.)
* <code>indent</code> - this parameter indents the list, for horizontal and horizontal ordered lists only. The value must be a number, e.g. <code>2</code>. The indent is calculated in [[Em (typography)|em]], and is 1.6 times the value specified. If no indent is specified, the default is zero.
