closing a nested list correctly on the last item

Hello,

I've been using the examples in the badger book for
navigation elements
built from an XML sitemap. In my case I've been trying to
build the
navigation with an HTML list:

<ul>
  <li>apples</li>
  <li>oranges</li>
    <ul>
      <li>clementine</li>
      <li>mandarin</li>
      <li>satsuma</li>
      <li>tangerine</li>
    </ul>
</ul>

However I have a problem when the last item in the outer
list has sub
items in the version I've created. If I use loop.last in
menu/nest (from
the Badger Book example) the outer <ul> will close
before the inner <ul>
is built:

<ul>
  <li>apples</li>
  <li>oranges</li>
</ul>
    <ul>
      <li>clementine</li>
      <li>mandarin</li>
      <li>satsuma</li>
      <li>tangerine</li>
    </ul>

My menu/nest:
[% IF loop.first %]
<ul>
[%- END -%]

<li [% IF loop.first %]class="first"[%- END
-%] [% IF loop.last &&
!loop.first %]class="last"[%- END -%]><a
href="[% link.url %]"
[%- " class=\"$link.class\""
  IF link.class
-%]><span>[%- link.text -%]
</span></a></li>
[% IF loop.last %]
</ul>
[%- END -%]

If anyone has been here before I'd be grateful of some
help. (I don't
have the badger book to hand, but I believe the example I
was working
from was about page 450, Chapter 11.)

Many thanks,

Stephen

Hi Stephen -

> <ul>
>  <li>apples</li>
>  <li>oranges</li>
>    <ul>
>      <li>clementine</li>
>      <li>mandarin</li>
>      <li>satsuma</li>
>      <li>tangerine</li>
>    </ul>
> </ul>

I think this should probably be:

   <ul>
    <li>apples</li>
    <li>oranges
      <ul>
        <li>clementine</li>
        <li>mandarin</li>
        <li>satsuma</li>
        <li>tangerine</li>
      </ul>
    </li>
   </ul>

Look at page 152 in the Badger book, you can create your own
iterator for 
the outer loop, e.g.:

    [% USE my_iterator = iterator(my_list_for_outer_loop) %]

and then do things like:

    [% FOREACH thing IN my_iterator %]
       [% FOREACH sub_thing IN thing.sub_things %]
          [% IF loop.last %]
             ... this is for the inner loop ...
          [% END %]
          [% IF my_iterator.last %]
             ... this is for the outer loop ...
          [% END %]
       [% END %]
    [% END %]
