# How To: Format Line Items Without Tables

Output related list data as text, not tables, using prefixes and postfixes.

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`.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
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=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
