Basic usage

{{hlist|first item|second item|third item|...}}

All parameters

{{hlist
|first item|second item|third item|...
|class     = class
|style     = style
|list_style  = style for ul tag
|item_style  = style for all li tags
|item1_style = style for first li tag |item2_style = style for second li tag |...
|indent    = indent for the list
}}

• Positional parameters (1, 2, 3...): these are the list items. If no list items are present, the module will output nothing.
• class: a custom class for the ‎<div>...‎</div> tags surrounding the list, e.g. plainlinks.
• style: a custom CSS style for the ‎<div>...‎</div> tags surrounding the list, e.g. font-size: 90%;.
• list_style: a custom CSS style for the ‎<ul>...‎</ul> tags around the list. The format is the same as for the |style= parameter.
• item_style: a custom CSS style for all of the list items (the ‎<li>...‎</li> tags). The format is the same as for the |style= parameter.
• item1_style, item2_style, item3_style...: custom CSS styles for each of the list items. The format is the same as for the |style= parameter.
• indent: this parameter indents the list. The value must be a number, e.g. 2. The indent is calculated in em, and is 1.6 times the value specified. If no indent is specified, the default is zero.

{{hlist|entry1|entry2|entry3|entry4|entry5|entry6|entry7|entry8|entry9}} 

{{hlist|Winner|Runner-up|Third place|item_style=color:blue;}} 

{{hlist|Winner|Runner-up|Third place|item_style=color:blue;|indent=2}} 

{{hlist|Winner|Runner-up|Third place|item1_style=background-color:yellow;|item2_style=background-color:silver;}} 

{{Hlist}} will produce Linter errors if placed inside a template that uses ‎<span>...‎</span> tags, such as {{Small}}, {{Resize}}, etc. To avoid this, use the substitutions from the table below:

TemplateData is a way to store information about template parameters (the description of those and of the whole template) for both humans and machines. It is used by VisualEditor and possibly other tools like Upload Wizard.

Existing template documentation
At Wikimedia Commons, it is recommended to use {{TemplateBox}} with either ‎useTemplateData=1or‎useTemplateData=only on the ‎/doc subpage and transcluding it with {{Documentation}} into the template. ‎<nowiki>-tags can be wrapped around the arguments, if required, to avoid templates being expanded.

Newly created template documentation and imports
Another option, especially for imported templates, or for users with JSON experience, is placing raw ‎<templatedata>-tags into the Wikitext of the template, as described in various Wikipediae.

Discussion
There is an ongoing discussion about that matter. Feel invited to comment if you are experienced in either way, your time permits and if you like to share your opinion or to make a suggestion.
