Lists and tables are two different ways to format multiple, similar items on a page. Lists and HTML tables go back to Wikipedia's early days. The current wikicode tables (see the section about tables), which you can edit more easily and even sort, came later. You'll find many more lists than tables on Wikipedia.
HTML formatting can be used to create rich lists, including items with internal paragraph breaks. Using images with lists requires some care. For infoboxes, a bulleted list can be converted to unbulleted or horizontal style with simple templates, to suppress both the large bullets and the indentation.
For years in HTML, a table has always forced an implicit line-wrap (or line-break). So, to keep a table within a line, the workaround is to put the whole line into a table, then embed a table within a table, using the outer table to force the whole line to stay together. Consider the following examples: Wikicode (showing table forces line-break)

Suggested values on true Example true Auto value true: String: optional: Bullets: bullets: Set as 'on' or 'true' to place a bullet point before each list ...
Numbered and bulleted lists are created using standard wiki markup. In cases where a plain list without number or bullet is desired, such as in an infobox, many editors will simply create a list using breaks. This method does not apply the semantics of a list, and for those using screen readers it will not sound like a list.

This method can cause issues for screen readers, which read tables cell by cell and row by row in the HTML, not based on visual rows. Additionally, unordered (bulleted), ordered (numbered) and description lists should not have blank lines or newlines between them.
