A template intended to aid the creation of lists which are strings of items separated by a "divider" or "separator" character. The divider/separator character used here is the emboldened middot (·) as it seems less obtrusive than either the bullet (•) or the vertical-line ( |, which resembles the uppercase letter "I", lowercase "l" or the upright parts of "h", "k", etc).

Example 
Code:   item 1{{·}} item 2{{·}} item 3{{·}} item 4
Result:  item 1 · item 2 · item 3 · item 4
