Template:Multiref2

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template creates an unbulleted list for bundled citations. It is a wrapper for {{unbulleted list}} that adds white space between each bundled reference. This template or {{multiref}} is recommended over HTML line breaks which cause accessibility issues. The standard {{unbulleted list}} template for body text will disrupt white space within references. It causes an unnecessary line break before the first list item. See below for comparisons:
