breakform and breakby

I’m trying to split the output of articles, but I’m having trouble understanding the breakform.

I’m trying something like this:

<txp:article form="default" breakform="article-break" breakby="1, 1, 3"/>
<!-- article-break -->
<div>
	<+>
</div>

Am I wrong to think the result must be this?

<div>
	<article></article>
</div>
<div>
	<article></article>
</div>
<div>
	<article></article>
	<article></article>
	<article></article>
</div>

But the result is being this:

<div><article></article></div>
<div><article></article></div>
<div><article></article></div>
<div><article></article></div>
<div><article></article></div>

With break it worked perfectly, but I need more than just a div, so I’m trying breakform.

It should be this, for consistency, but is a bit cumbersome to implement. Since nobody asked (until now :-) we have left it as it was before breakform introduction. One day, perhaps…

If your break does not require to be parsed, you can use <+> pattern:

<txp:article form="default" breakby="1, 1, 3"
    break="<div> and more <+></div>" />

It could be

<txp:article breakform="article-break" breakby="1, 1, 3" limit="5" />

<!-- article-break -->
<txp:variable name="class_1" value="one" />
<txp:variable name="class_2" value="another_one" />
<txp:variable name="class_3" value="three" />

<div class="<txp:variable name='class_<txp:yield item="count" />' />">
<+>
</div>

I did some tests, and that’s pretty good. Thanks

Agree, that’s a clever idea!
