## Gotchas

Here are some gotchmes and hopefully not gotchyous:

* Don't write `loop.index > 0` as it will always be true; `loop.index` is 1-indexed. Above, I needed the 0-indexed version: `loop.index0`. [^1]

* "If you want to assign a value in the global context while in a for loop, you _must_ use set_global" [^2]

* Don't forget to use `| safe` with trusted strings. [^3]
