Question

I have loop in template:

{% for item in items %}
    <div class="item">
        {{ forloop.counter }}) {{ item.name }}
    </div>
{% endfor %}

and I want to display forloop.counter as letters (a,b,c,d,e…) but not using ul->li tags, only forloop.counter. How to do it?

Answer 1

You could make a custom filter:

@register.filter
def to_char(value):
    return chr(98-value)

and then in your template:

{{forloop.counter|to_char}}
