Thanks for your help tim, I had a look at your filter, but I ended up using the template tag here:
http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/660/ The only problem is it requires you to know the length of your list, and the length of mine varies. {% load splitlist %} {% split_list tags as new_list 30 %} {% for x in new_list.0 %} {{x.call}} {{x.date}} {%endfor%} {% for x in new_list.1 %} {{x.call}} {{x.date}} {%endfor%} etc. but im trying to iterate through the length of the list something like: length = range(len(tags)) {% load splitlist %} {% split_list tags as new_list 30 %} {% for y in length %} {% for x in new_list.{{y}} %} {{x.calldate}} {%endfor%} {%endfor%} On Jun 2, 9:46 am, Tim Chase <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I am building a django-app that pulls call logs from a mysql > > database and displays reports, I am trying to make the reports > > printable and I use a CSS that splits them into two columns on > > the page.
