XF 2.0 Use a loop with variables inside a template

[Russ]

Are you able to set a loop inside a template with it looping items that are set inside the same template?

Essentially:

<xf:set var="$customLoop">
    <xf:set var="$customlist1">test</xf:set>
    <xf:set var="$customlist2">test</xf:set>
</xf:set>
                    <xf:foreach loop="$customLoop">
                        this would show for each var set above
                    </xf:foreach>

I hope this makes sense... makes perfect sense in my head but I'm not sure I'm explaining it correctly

You can define arrays in templates (I guess that's what you want):

<xf:set var="$custom" value="{{['1','2','3']}}" />

Edit: In your case:

<xf:set var="$c1" value="c1" />
<xf:set var="$c2" value="c2" />
<xf:set var="$custom" value="{{[$c1, $c2]}}" />

A potential shortcut, in case you can set the values literally:

<xf:foreach loop="['test', 'test']" value="$test">
    {$test}
</xf:foreach>

<xf:foreach loop="['test', 'test']" value="$test">
    {$test}
</xf:foreach>

is it possible to use range to create arrays in template?
something like:

<xf:foreach loop="{{range('1,10')}}" value="$test">
    {$test}
</xf:foreach>

or

<xf:set var="$custom" value="{{range('1,10')}}" />

Yep, almost literally what you typed but you used the wrong syntax:

<xf:foreach loop="{{ range(1, 10) }}" value="$test">
    {$test}
</xf:foreach>

Can i have the 2. one with a short syntax without do the whole loop?

Do i know the count. before the loop for something like

loop, if count < 2
else
