Prepending single list items... best way?
I'm working on my prompt generator, and I need to prepend my list items with a string: "by " (including the space).
I set this in the joinItems function of my output: joinItems(", by ") ... but this (obviously) doesn't include the first item of the list.
So I defined a prefix variable "pp = by"
Now my output is:
$output = [pp] [fa = defaultPainters.selectAll.joinItems(", by ")]
This works, but it seems a little kludgy - is there a better/preferred way?
Thanks for any tips!

Can you give an expected output of the list, and some example lists?Didn't see the linked generator lmaooo.A simple solution is just
$output = by [fa = defaultPainter.selectAll.joinItems(", by ")], you don't need to use a list if you are only outputting text.Yeah.. I guess I had it right, except I didn't really need to set the variable. It seemed like the right thing to do since I needed to use it for two different lists... but typing "by " in both outputs does the same thing, without any extra characters. lol. Thanks!
