Fwiw, canonical.launchpad.helpers.english_list() joins lists of strings according to the advice in The Elements of Style. It has tests too. Might save someone a few minutes.
-- "List" macro in templates https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/240432 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Launchpad Community Development Team, which is the registrant for launchpad-web. Status in Launchpad Web UI: Triaged Bug description: We sometimes need to list items in the UI that are short enough to render as running text, but have enough templating in them not to belong in browser code. A single macro ought to let us generate comma-separated lists of things that each take fmt:url and such to render. Advanced versions could do things like add an "and" where appropriate ("x and y" but also "x, y, and z"); cut the list short with an ellipsis if it gets too long ("alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon, zeta, ..."); let the user "fold" long lists; or provide other navigation aids. mpt has been using "tal:comma" for cases where he'd want a macro like this, so if we ever implement this, grep the templates for that. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
