I've made a sandbox version of this template: {{

, <li>
). Test cases are at
Template:Br separated entries/testcases. It just needs someone to fix the CSS so that the bullets don't display, and agreement to apply it. Can anyone help with the former, please? If we wanted to, we could make the bullets switchable.

is fine; the others you suggest are for more complex cases. Would you like to apply the changes now, and rename the template, perhaps to "Plain list"?

tags are used in infoboxes. Examples include the honorific titles, the entries in the "born" and "died" fields, etc. Thanks!

However, the changes you are suggesting will change the behavior of this template, and make it no longer suitable for its purpose. I'm not sure why there is a problem. Thank you.

Education We know from many biographies that as a youngster Mary Baker Eddy was tutored often by her brilliant brother, Albert Baker, who later was a lawyer who clerked for Franklin Pierce and later became a Congressman before his untimely death. Joseph S. Robinson in his book "Waymarks in the Life of Mary Baker Eddy", a book which is now in the public domain as it was published in 1942 by The Pond-Ekberg Company Springfield, Mass., writes of Mary Baker Eddy's education, "Mary Baker Eddy completed her education at the Holmes Academy in Plymouth and Sanbornton Academy at the Bridge, between the years 1838 and 1842, when the present Tilton School served as a female college. In Professor Dyer Hook Sanborn she had an instructor of more than average talents. He was the author of a treatise on normal school teaching, and his "Analytical Grammar" went through eight editions. He was also the town's "superintending school committee" and in 1845 he became Representative. His was a "celebrated school," Lucy Cross, historian of Northfield, tells us or he was a "model educator," turning out "many finely educated lady teachers." Mary Baker Eddy served as a substitute instructor at the same institution after its name had changed to the "New Hampshire Conference Seminary and Female College."

Note: In a previous thread, the creator of template says '"The purpose of this template is to create a very simple "br list"', and it appears the documentation was reworded to play a semantic (in a difference sense) game, replacing 'list' with 'grouping of related items', which still means 'list'. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼ 10:25, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
