Usage
If you have this problem of list bullets and numbers overlapping with a left floating image or Infobox, for example:
List of animals:
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.
List of animals:
This template can be used with or without {{endflowlist}}.

{{flowlist|

Side effects
