There are two ways to present looped collection data in a list format. You can use collection loops, or use the paragraph function -w:p. Lists can be ordered or unordered, bulleted or unbulleted.
Collection Variables
In general, simply placing the {/} closing tag of a collection on the next line will generate a basic list. In this case, we are relying on the paragraph break (included between the {#} opening and {/} closing tags) to present the data in a list format.
| Sample Shareholdings Data |

Fiona Forrest holds 100 Common shares Gemma Germinate holds 50 Common shares Herbert Horticulture holds 100 Common shares Isabella Iridescence holds 25 Common shares Julian Juniper holds 10 Common shares |
Simple List
To code an unordered, unbulleted list of shareholder names:
| Input | Output |
|
{#shareholdings}{shareholdingName} |
Fiona Forrest Gemma Germinate Herbert Horticulture Isabella Iridescence Julian Juniper |
Numbered / Bulleted List
To code a bulleted or numbered list, simply apply any numbered or bulleted list format offered by Microsoft Word:
| Input | Output |
|
|
NOTE: Make sure there is no bullet or numbering beside the {/} closing tag, as it would result in an empty bullet or number at the end of your list. For more information on using Microsoft Word formatting, check out the Formatting Text Styles: upper, lower, firstCase article.
Paragraph Function
Using -w:p Notation
The -w:p function is used to create bulleted lists without an additional line (paragraph break). Use -w:p in the opening tag and remember to close the tag with {/}.
