To conditionalize output based the empty/non-empty state of the filter 
results, use the *emptyMessage* param in the $list widget.

To make things more readable, I tend to put the output rendering code into 
separate macros, thus:

\define showitem() <$button>{{!!title}}</$button>
\define showempty() no items
\define filter() [foo[bar]]
<$list filter=<<filter>> emptyMessage=<<showempty>>> <<showitem>> </$list>

enjoy,
