Not last in the menu list?

I'm new to writing templates and I want to create a menu like this

item1 - item2 - item3 - item4

My problem is that only want the '-' between the items. With the help of 'last' I can write something like this

{{#menu}}
    <a href="{{url}}" title="{{label}}">{{label}}</a> - 
    {{#last}}
        <a href="{{url}}" title="{{label}}">{{label}}</a>
    {{/last}}
{{/menu}}

Which of course results in two 'item4'. What I haven't figured out is how to match 'this items isn't the last item'.

Can anyone tell me how to do this

You can achieve the desired menu like so:

{{#menu}}
    <a href="{{url}}" title="{{label}}">{{label}}</a>
    {{^last}} - {{/last}}
{{/menu}}

The trick is to use a caret (^) instead of a pound sign (#) to invert the block. You can read more under inverted sections in the developer documentation.

No worries – your blog's menu is a list. Please let me know if you have any questions about this or anything else
