Hello to everybody, I am new to this list, I am starting ti develop web sites using Radiant 0.5.2 and I have one question. I need to create a list of articles using two alternate styles for odd or even members of the list. I mean something like this: Post 1 Post 2 Post 3 ... Using children:each I got all posts with the same style, I tried to create a children\_alternate tag, but I think I haven't understood how radius tags works. I created a each\_odd and a each\_even tag, but using them I get all even post grouped together and all even posts grouped together not in alternate style. Is there a way to obtain what I need? If I am not wrong radius computes the block passed to it and give back the result and the block is the code between for example the open and the close "children:each" tag. Is it right? So it should be better to pass some option to each to obtain an alternate style... or not? Thanks in advance – Francesco L. Ymir s.r.l. Viale Verona 190/11 38100 Trento ---

0.6/Mental has the \ tag. It could easily be backported to 0.5.2 as it doesn’t use anything special in 0.6/Mental. Sean
