I am trying to loop through a list and get an output like this:
Python:
items=['item1', 'item2', 'item3']
return dict(items=items)
HTML:
<ul>
<li><a href="/item1>item1</a></li>
<li><a href="/item1>item2</a></li>
<li><a href="/item1>item3</a></li>
</ul>
I can get the list part right but adding it to the anchor is not going so well.
How about (supposing 'items' is a namespace passed from your code to your template):
<ul>
<tal:block repeat="item items">
<li><a href="" tal:attributes="href item" tal:content="item">item</a></li>
</tal:block>
</ul>
You can put tal:repeat on the li element, but I personally like to use a dedicated tag using an element in the tal namespace (idiomatic choice is tal:block).
