Foreach usage in k# macros

We have an email template and we're passing in a set of replacement tokens in from code level using the MacroResolver. It works okay and seems to be looping through the collection.

However, I'm not quite sure how the foreach process works. For instance, see the following macro code in the email template:

{% foreach (item in items) { print(item); } %}

This way you can difine a transformation and use it inside the macro. More information about this topit you can find in trasformation macro expressions. Is this solution suitable for you?

RE:Foreach usage in k# macros

Thanks, that's an interesting option, although it's a pity that it would move the styling work out of the templates and into the development section of the admin site.

However, it isn't working for me anyway. I created a transformation on Root document type and I'm using the following:

{% items.ApplyTransformation("CMS.Root.UserSummary") %}

I am getting an error in the event log:
"Method ApplyTransformation has invalid number of arguments."

It also seems to add the hash in every time I save.

RE:Foreach usage in k# macros

If the above is never going to work, I want to construct the HTML string in my calling code. I did try this, but it's not treating the html tags correctly. Is there a macro command I can use to render the html tags as html instead of text?

Out of interest, I see here mention of a future plan to have bracketed blocks (in future plans at the bottom):

I changed the collection type to List<string> and used the following code, but it's not rendering the break tags inside the loop as html - how can I do that? <br /> {% foreach(item in items) { %} <br/>{%item%} {% } %} <br />
