The best way to lay out a list of links — say, like those you would find in a footer — is typically to code them as an HTML list and use CSS for the presentation.
However, sometimes this is neither convenient nor practical (can you say, “legacy CMS”?).
In which case, here are some variations on how you can separate a list of links, starting with the old standby, the vertical bar or pipe.
