Hi, I`m using the format\_address to generate an array ```lia-code-sample {% set address_lines = format_address( QUOTE.hs_locale or 'en-us', { address: module.show_company_address and BUYER_COMPANY.address ? BUYER_COMPANY.address : '', address2: module.show_company_address and BUYER_COMPANY.address2 ? BUYER_COMPANY.address2 : '', city: module.show_company_city_state_zip and BUYER_COMPANY.city ? BUYER_COMPANY.city : '', state: module.show_company_city_state_zip and BUYER_COMPANY.state ? BUYER_COMPANY.state : '', zip: module.show_company_city_state_zip and BUYER_COMPANY.zip ? BUYER_COMPANY.zip : '', country: module.show_company_country and BUYER_COMPANY.country ? BUYER_COMPANY.country : '' } ) %}
{% for line in address_lines %} {{line}}
{% endfor %}
``` This gives me this output. **Sample company** 123 Sample Town, Suite 123 San Francisco, California 90000 United States What i would like is the address2 to be on a 2nd line like this **Sample company** 123 Sample Town, Suite 123, San Francisco, California 90000 United States Is there a way to change the format\_address function? ---

Hi, Unfortunately, you have no way to change this, because it’s pre-formatted precisely to respect formatting conventions. If I were you, I would create my own table myself to control the display of the data. ---

Hey @JumpingKangaroo, try this: ```lia-code-sample ...
{% for line in address_lines %} {{ line.address }},
{% if line.address2 %} {{ line.address2 }},
{% endif %} {{ line.city }}, {{ line.state }} {{ line.zip }},
{{ line.coutry }} {% endfor %}
``` best, Anton ---

Hi @Anton , Why would your example work? address\_lines is a list of strings, not a list of objects. Or I’m missing something. Your example works if he does this: ```lia-code-sample {% set address_lines = [{ address: module.show_company_address and BUYER_COMPANY.address ? BUYER_COMPANY.address : '', address2: module.show_company_address and BUYER_COMPANY.address2 ? BUYER_COMPANY.address2 : '', city: module.show_company_city_state_zip and BUYER_COMPANY.city ? BUYER_COMPANY.city : '', state: module.show_company_city_state_zip and BUYER_COMPANY.state ? BUYER_COMPANY.state : '', zip: module.show_company_city_state_zip and BUYER_COMPANY.zip ? BUYER_COMPANY.zip : '', country: module.show_company_country and BUYER_COMPANY.country ? BUYER_COMPANY.country : '' }] %} ``` Best, ---

Hey [@sylvain\_tirreau](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/601366), I’d say because when you’re looping through a list of strings the for-loop creates an object for each instace. Therefore the “set XYZ” info can be accessed in the actual loop. Simple example: ```lia-code-sample {%- set breakpoints = { "sm" :"480", "md" :"768", "lg" :"1024", "xl" :"1400" } -%} ``` by it self can be accessed via `{{breakpoints.sm}}` if you like to create a for-loop with all the individual infos, you have to write it like this: ```lia-code-sample {% for name, value in breakpoints.items() %} @media screen and ({{value ~ "px" }}){ .some-class-{{ name }}{ /* some css */ } } {% endfor %} ``` The rendered output would be: ```lia-code-sample @media screen and (min-width:480px){ .some-class-sm{ /* some css */ } } @media screen and (min-width:768px){ .some-class-md{ /* some css */ } } @media screen and (min-width:1024px){ .some-class-lg{ /* some css */ } } @media screen and (min-width:1400px){ .some-class-xl{ /* some css */ } } ``` best, Anton ---

My comment was more about the initial variable (see the first message of this discussion) which was this: ```lia-code-sample {% set address_lines = format_address( QUOTE.hs_locale or 'en-us', { address: module.show_company_address and BUYER_COMPANY.address ? BUYER_COMPANY.address : '', address2: module.show_company_address and BUYER_COMPANY.address2 ? BUYER_COMPANY.address2 : '', city: module.show_company_city_state_zip and BUYER_COMPANY.city ? BUYER_COMPANY.city : '', state: module.show_company_city_state_zip and BUYER_COMPANY.state ? BUYER_COMPANY.state : '', zip: module.show_company_city_state_zip and BUYER_COMPANY.zip ? BUYER_COMPANY.zip : '', country: module.show_company_country and BUYER_COMPANY.country ? BUYER_COMPANY.country : '' } ) %} ``` Your code doesn’t work with this variable; you need to adapt it to make it work. That was the whole point of my approach. 😉 Best, ---

Hi Anton, Thank you for the suggestion. This was the solution i had implemented after playing around with the code.
