Workin in console :
In [1]: test123 = 'test/test2/test3/'
In [2]: test123
Out[2]: 'test/test2/test3/'
In [3]: for v in test123.split('/'):
...: if v != '':
...: v
...:
...:
Out[3]: 'test'
Out[3]: 'test2'
Out[3]: 'test3'
In [4]: XML(UL(*[ LI(v) for v in test123.split('/') if v != '' ]))
Out[4]: <gluon.html.XML object at 0x26ec550>
In [5]: print XML(UL(*[ LI(v) for v in test123.split('/') if v != '' ]))
<ul><li>test</li><li>test2</li><li>test3</li></ul>
But in generated view I only get the default option no ul or li...
Thanks
Richard
