= Flat list style edit
An additional named model parameter can be supplied in {{ws_diclist}} or {{ws_diclist/s}} to specify the class name to use.
The default styling for this produces:
- Term 1
- Definition A.
- Definition B,
- Term 2
- Definition C,
- Definition D.
...
- Term X
- Definition x,
- Definition y,
- Definition z.
Alternatively in situations where it is desirable for the list to be flat (for example, a list of synonyms for a defined root word), the model parameter can be used.
The model paremeter can be used to specify the _ws_diclist_scflat CSS class, which "flattens" the list down, by making certain elements "inline", and inserting a line-break before a definition item using CSS attributes on the elements of the definition list.
The output of the template using this "model" is :
- Term 1
- Definition A,
- Definition B.
- Term 2
- Definition C,
- Definition D.
...
- Term X
- Definition x,
- Definition y,
- Definition z.
Implementing additional models edit
The model parameter can also be used to implement additional models using CSS styles.
These should be added to Template:Ws diclist/styles.css using an appropriate name.
If you add additional classes, please update the documentation here accordingly.
