Wrapping Ditto Output in Groups of Ten

When you need slider-like or grouped markup from Ditto, use the iteration counter to open and close wrappers at predictable intervals.

Sometimes Ditto output must be grouped into fixed blocks instead of a flat list. A common example is a slider where every ten resources need to sit inside one wrapper element.

Target structure

<li>
  <div>resource 1</div>
  ...
  <div>resource 10</div>
</li>

How to think about it

Use the iteration counter to detect the start and end of each ten-item batch. The first item in a group opens the wrapper; the tenth closes it.

Recommendation

If the grouping logic becomes too complex, move it into a small helper snippet or pre-processed chunk logic rather than stacking more conditional markup into the row template.
