Given a definition of: $mainSections := .Site.Params.mainSections I need to pull out ONE section into a string (to use elsewhere). I’m using this: $section_name := printf "%s" (delimit ($mainSections) " ") which does work as long as mainSections is one section, but for more than one item it fa…

[image] rdwatters: {{$section_name := index (.Site.Params.mainsections) 0}} That’s still splicing out the first letter (the same result I was getting with first). Maybe I’m applying it wrong.

Huh. Do you have that set as a param? Here is what I’m doing in a quick test site: Templating {{$mainSection := index (.Site.Params.mainSections) 0 }} <h3>{{$mainSection}}</h3> config.toml [params] mainSections = ["one","two","three"] Output <h3>one</h3>

I got it now. I was blocked by something else. Thank you. And yours is much cleaner than the madness I had in there.

This is where the index function will hopefully come in handy…
