Usage
[edit]If you have this problem of list bullets and numbers overlapping with a left floating image or Infobox, for example:
then {{Flowlist}} enables lists to stay clear of these left floating objects. It effectively makes lists act as a block level element. It does however have a few side effects that you should take note of.
This template can be used with or without {{endflowlist}}.
Examples
[edit][[File:Bad Title Example.png|left|thumb|100px|Test image]] List of animals:
{{flowlist |
* [[cat]]
* [[dog]]
* [[horse]]
* [[cow]]
* [[sheep]]
* [[pig]]
}}

Side effects
[edit]Using this technique has a side effect. If your list is longer than the floated element, then the list will not flow around the image like normal, but instead be one block, leaving white space below the floated element. This goes for both left and right side of the list.
