The following shows `after` being used in conjunction with the [`slice`]function:

2023-05-22 10:43:12 -04:00
```go-html-template
2019-10-21 04:22:28 -04:00
{{ $data := slice "one" "two" "three" "four" }}
{{ range after 2 $data }}
{{ . }}
{{ end }}
→ ["three", "four"]
```

## Example of `after` with `first`: 2nd–4th most recent articles

You can use `after` in combination with the [`first`] function and Hugo's [powerful sorting methods][lists]. Let's assume you have a list page at `example.com/articles` . You have 10 articles, but you want your templating for the [list/section page] to show only two rows:
2019-10-21 04:22:28 -04:00
1. The top row is titled "Featured" and shows only the most recently published article (i.e. by `publishdate` in the content files' front matter).
2. The second row is titled "Recent Articles" and shows only the 2nd- to 4th-most recently published articles.

{{< code file = "layouts/section/articles.html" > }}
2019-10-21 04:22:28 -04:00
{{ define "main" }}
< section class = "row featured-article" >
2023-05-22 10:43:12 -04:00
< h2 > Featured Article< / h2 >
{{ range first 1 .Pages.ByPublishDate.Reverse }}
< header >
2023-08-07 04:35:12 -04:00
