# How To: Format Line Items Without Tables

Set the list class to `none` when you want text output instead of table markup.

### Problem

You want to display related list data as running text or custom layouts, not as a table.

### Solution

**Comma-Separated List:**

```
<!--{{!
<lineitemsSOQL>
<class>none</class>
<soql>SELECT Name FROM Contact WHERE AccountId = '{{!Account.Id}}'</soql>
<column postfix=", ">Name</column>
</lineitemsSOQL>
}}-->
```

**Result:** `John Smith, Jane Doe, Bob Johnson,`

**With Prefix and Postfix:**

```
<!--{{!
<lineitemsSOQL>
<prefix>Team Members: </prefix>
<class>none</class>
<soql>SELECT Name FROM Contact WHERE AccountId = '{{!Account.Id}}'</soql>
<column postfix=", ">Name</column>
<postfix>are assigned to this account.</postfix>
</lineitemsSOQL>
}}-->
```

**Result:** `Team Members: John Smith, Jane Doe, Bob Johnson, are assigned to this account.`

**Better Formatting (Remove Last Comma):**

```
<!--{{!
<lineitemsSOQL>
<prefix>Team Members: </prefix>
<class>none</class>
<soql>SELECT Name FROM Contact WHERE AccountId = '{{!Account.Id}}'</soql>
<column abfprefixouter=", ">Name</column>
<postfix>.</postfix>
</lineitemsSOQL>
}}-->
```

**Result:** `Team Members: John Smith, Jane Doe, Bob Johnson.`

**Line Breaks Instead of Commas:**

```
<!--{{!
<lineitemsSOQL>
<class>none</class>
<soql>SELECT Name, Title FROM Contact WHERE AccountId = '{{!Account.Id}}'</soql>
<column postfix=" - ">Name</column>
<column postfix="<br>">Title</column>
</lineitemsSOQL>
}}-->
```

**Result:**

```
John Smith - CEO
Jane Doe - CFO
Bob Johnson - CTO
```

### Tips

* `<class>none</class>` removes table formatting.
* Use `postfix` to add separators.
* Use `abfprefixouter` to avoid a separator before the first item.
* Combine this pattern with other attributes like `format-number` and `ToUpperCase`.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.sdocs.com/sdocs/advanced-template-logic/template-attributes/template-attributes-how-to-guides/how-to-format-line-items-without-tables.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
