You're most welcome, Ena ! I'm glad it worked for you. You should consider putting the ListItem part of the HTML into a separate template and calling that template along with parameters to account for the differences between the different rendering. Also, I would advise you to consider a different flow compared to applying if- else constructs to account for each category.
