Lists of Items

Lists are useful for collecting information, storing it, and then calling on it if you need to present that information. For example, you could create a list and store the children of a client in the list: Tom, Joe, and Sally. Then you can filter the list by age, gender, etc., and show the list by that filter. 

To learn how to create a list, view the Lists lesson.

Here are some examples with formatting:

Bulleted Lists

In some instances, you may need to add a simple bullet list to keep your documents organized. 

{[list Children]}

• My {[Relationship]} {[FullName]}

{[endlist]}

Lists in a Sentence

Lists in a sentence are useful when presenting information in a certain way. Here are a few different ways to formulate sentence lists: 

My children {[list Children|punc: “1, 2 and 3”]}{[Relationship]} {[FullName]}{[endlist]}
My children {[list Children|punc: “1, 2, and 3”]}{[Relationship]} {[FullName]}{[endlist]}
My children {[list Children|punc: “1, 2”]}{[Relationship]} {[FullName]}{[endlist]}
My children {[list Children|punc: “1 and 2”]}{[Relationship]} {[FullName]}{[endlist]}

Lists in a Sentence with Additional Formatting

In some cases, you may want to present a list in a sentence like this: (1) Tom, (2) Joe, and (3) Sally. You use an index to do this. 

{[list Children |punc:"1, 2, and 3"]}({[_index]}) {[Name]}{[endlist]}

Specific Items

You can present one item from a list as well. Instead of listing Tom, Joe, and Sally, perhaps you only want Tom. 

{[Children[0].Name]}
