Plain lists and columns

See Help:List, WP:LINEBREAK, and Help:Columns
{{Column-generating template families}}

{{Div col}} and {{Div col end}} for CSS columns instead of tables
{{plainlist}} creates an ul and adds li tags to each line. It requires a star on each line in wiki source.
The <poem> extension generates a p tag with a br tag at end of each line. {{colbegin}} + poem works, but adds extra space before 1st column (because of p tag).
{{plainlist}} + {{colbegin}} works.

{{flatlist}} for an inline list

Prevent tag parsing

See {{tag}}, {{xtag}}, <nowiki>

Excessive apparatus after topic names

See Trebuchet for how to put it into notes
