Hi Tobias,
the setvars plugin is quite clever and it can select values from a list,
yes, but it does not give me the option to split a string (deserialize it)
based on a specified delimiter (e.g. ";;") and access the array indeces
later on.
* However:* The split filter is what I was looking for (in combination with
nth() filter)
<$list filter="a b c +[make[%count%;;%title%;;%max%]]" variable="s">
<div style="background: #ffffcc; padding: 3px; margin: 10px;">
''Serialized string:'' <<s>>
''Deserialized string:''
|!Index |!First Element |!Second Element |
|{{{ [<s>split[;;]nth[1]] }}}| {{{ [<s>split[;;]nth[2]] }}}| {{{
[<s>split[;;]nth[3]]
}}}|
</div>
</$list>

*The combination of make, split and nth will definitely open doors for
people who want to do wikitext "for loops" in a way that is resembles
iterations over nested 2-dim-arrays*:
1. People can dynamically create nested arrays in wikitext on the fly
using the make filter in combination with a delimiter, e.g.";;".
2. Then they can iterate over the serialized sub-arrays and access the
array elements by index using split and nth
I always wished this was possible in TW ;) Hope my description helps others
who are also interested in advanced loops.
@Tobias there seems to be a bug though: do you notice the missing value in
the third iteration?

Big compliment on your documentation of your plugins by the way.
