Here’s a good riddle for you:
1. I have a template that contains 16 template variables (I’ve used ManagerManager to move them to their own tab, btw -- much less cluttered).
2. All of the TVs spit out an identical wrapper div.
3. The person creating a page with this template will always use at least one of the TVs, but they don’t have to use all of them.
4. I want two columns on the page, but the data needs to flow down the page and split roughly halfway (i.e., it can’t just flow left-to-right using CSS floats on the divs).
Now, the tricky part: How do I count the total number of TVs that have data in them, divide that number in half, and then put the first X number in the left column and the remaining X number in the right column (if it’s an odd number, I’d like the extra one in the left column)?
I did find a snippet that does something similar with Ditto called DittoFormat (

Thanks!
