I've been playing with numbered lists in tables recently for a different template, and this problem is a lot more difficult than it might seem. automatic numbering of lists only works in a very restricted set of circumstances, and it's very difficult to simulate with templates (because templates have very little self-referencing capability).
MediaWiki’s wikitable class (class="wikitable") is designed for straightforward table formatting and enforces certain global styles that make removing borders between adjacent cells challenging even if custom CSS styles attempt to eliminate these borders. Specifically, the class includes:
Category:Wikipedia template editors {{List to table}}: template and its maintenance category: Category:Articles requiring tables {{Horizontal TOC}}: good for country lists in table format. {{Diagonal split header}}: for identifying both rows and columns, in a diagonally split top-left cell (also: {{Diagonal split header 2}})
Also, this technique may give, depending on CSS, a blank line before and after each list, in which case, for uniformity, every first-level list item could be made a separate list although this further complicates the code. For complex lists like this, it is recommended to use the {{ordered list}} or {{bulleted list}} technique, and to replace ...
Blank lines between items of a numbered list will not only cause the same broken-list problems as in bulleted lists, but will also restart the numbering at "1". This cannot be fixed without complex markup (defeating ease-of-editing expectations), so double-spacing should always be avoided in numbered lists.
Template:Columns-list turns a list into a list with columns. It is a wrapper for {{ div col }} , except it wraps the template by allowing for the content to be in the template rather than above and below.
The template can also be used to simulate list items, e.g. in template documentation, where there is no need to create a real list, or where real list code might complicate an example. Finally, {{lino}} is a meta-template used by other templates, such as {{ linum }} , to create more complicated list templates without writing redundant code.
Code: [[Gustav I of Sweden]] liked to breakfast on [[crispbread]] ({{lang | sv | knäckebröd}}) open sandwiches with toppings such as {{lang | sv | messmör}} (butter made from goat's milk), ham, and vegetables. The {} template and its variants support all ISO 639 language codes, correctly identifying the language and automatically italicizing ...
