nested iteration over variables

nested iteration over variables

['Jan Ulrich Hasecke' via pandoc-discuss]

Hi,

consider this as a markdown frontmatter:

---
positions:
   - foo:
     name: Foo
     feature1: 2
     feature2: 4
   - foo:
     name: Bar
     feature1: 4
     feature2: 8
   - baz:
     name: Blibb
     feature1: 25
---

Is it possible to do something like this:

$for(positions)$

$for(foo)$
$foo.name$
$foo.feature1$
$foo.feature2$
$endfor$

$for(baz)$
$baz.name$
$baz.feature1$
$endfor$

$endfor$

I tried it and it does not work.

Background: I want to create a complex tender (bid) document, where I 
have to create tables for each position.foo and each position.baz, where 
each foo and baz has several features.

Any hints?
TIA
juh

Set up the metadata like this:

```
---
positions:
  foo:
  - name: Foo
    feature: 2
  - name: Bar
    feature: 3
  bar:
  - name: Bar
    feature: 55
...
```

You can use the anaphoric variable name "it".

```
$for(positions)$
Foos:
$for(it.foo)$
$it.name$, $it.feature$
$endfor$
Bars:
$for(it.bar)$
$it.name$, $it.feature$
$endfor$
$endfor$
```

Additional question. Is it possible to use some logic in if-statements?

$if(foo=2)$
Foo is Two.
$elseif(foo=1)$
Foo is One.
$else$
No Foo left.
$endif$


TIA
juh

No logic, sorry.
