-An example appending single values:
+This function appends all elements, excluding the last, to the last element. This allows [pipe](/getting-started/glossary/#pipeline) constructs as shown below.
+
+Append a single element to a slice:
+
+```go-html-template
+{{ $s := slice "a" "b" }}
+{{ $s }} → [a b]
+
+{{ $s = $s | append "c" }}
+{{ $s }} → [a b c]
+```
+
+Append two elements to a slice:
+
+```go-html-template
+{{ $s := slice "a" "b" }}
+{{ $s }} → [a b]
+
+{{ $s = $s | append "c" "d" }}
+{{ $s }} → [a b c d]
+```
+
+Append two elements, as a slice, to a slice. This produces the same result as the previous example:
```go-html-template
-{{ $s := slice "a" "b" "c" }}
-{{ $s = $s | append "d" "e" }}
-{{/* $s now contains a []string with elements "a", "b", "c", "d", and "e" */}}
+{{ $s := slice "a" "b" }}
+{{ $s }} → [a b]
+{{ $s = $s | append (slice "c" "d") }}
+{{ $s }} → [a b c d]
```
-The same example appending a slice to a slice:
+Start with an empty slice:
```go-html-template
-{{ $s := slice "a" "b" "c" }}
+{{ $s := slice }}
+{{ $s }} → []
+
+{{ $s = $s | append "a" }}
+{{ $s }} → [a]
+
+{{ $s = $s | append "b" "c" }}
+{{ $s }} → [a b c]
+
{{ $s = $s | append (slice "d" "e") }}
+{{ $s }} → [a b c d e]
```
-If a slice contains other slices, further slices will be appended as values:
+If you start with a slice of a slice:
```go-html-template
-{{ $s := slice (slice "a" "b") (slice "c" "d") }}
-{{ $s = $s | append (slice "e" "f") (slice "g" "h") }}
-{{/* $s now contains a [][]string containing four slices: ["a" "b"], ["c" "d"], ["e" "f"], and ["g" "h"] */}}
+{{ $s := slice (slice "a" "b") }}
+{{ $s }} → [[a b]]
+
+{{ $s = $s | append (slice "c" "d") }}
+{{ $s }} → [[a b] [c d]]
+```
+
+To create a slice of slices, starting with an empty slice:
+
+```go-html-template
+{{ $s := slice }}
+{{ $s }} → []
+
+{{ $s = $s | append (slice (slice "a" "b")) }}
+{{ $s }} → [[a b]]
+
+{{ $s = $s | append (slice "c" "d") }}
+{{ $s }} → [[a b] [c d]]
```
-The `append` function works for all types, including `Pages`.
+
+
+Although the elements in the examples above are strings, you can use the `append` function with any data type, including Pages. For example, on the home page of a corporate site, to display links to the two most recent press releases followed by links to the four most recent articles:
+
+```go-html-template
+{{ $p := where site.RegularPages "Type" "press-releases" | first 2 }}
+{{ $p = $p | append (where site.RegularPages "Type" "articles" | first 4) }}
+
+{{ with $p }}
+ <ul>
+ {{ range . }}
+ <li><a href="{{ .RelPermalink }}">{{ .LinkTitle }}</a></li>
+ {{ end }}
+ </ul>
+{{ end }}
+```

-`cond` returns *VAR1* if *CONTROL* is true, or *VAR2* if it is not.
-
-Example:
+The CONTROL argument is a boolean value that indicates whether the function should return ARG1 or ARG2. If CONTROL is `true`, the function returns ARG1. Otherwise, the function returns ARG2.
```go-html-template
-{{ cond (eq (len $geese) 1) "goose" "geese" }}
+{{ $qty := 42 }}
+{{ cond (le $qty 3) "few" "many" }} → "many"
```
-Would emit "goose" if the `$geese` array has exactly 1 item, or "geese" otherwise.
+The CONTROL argument must be either `true` or `false`. To cast a non-boolean value to boolean, pass it through the `not` operator twice.
+
+```go-html-template
+{{ cond (42 | not | not) "truthy" "falsy" }} → "truthy"
+{{ cond ("" | not | not) "truthy" "falsy" }} → "falsy"
+```
{{% note %}}
-Whenever you use a `cond` function, *both* variable expressions are *always* evaluated. This means that a usage like `cond false (div 1 0) 27` will throw an error because `div 1 0` will be evaluated *even though the condition is false*.
+Unlike [ternary operators] in other languages, the `cond` function does not perform [short-circuit evaluation]. The function evaluates both ARG1 and ARG2, regardless of the CONTROL value.
-In other words, the `cond` function does *not* provide [short-circuit evaluation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short-circuit_evaluation) and does *not* work like a normal [ternary operator](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%3F:) that will pass over the first expression if the condition returns `false`.
+[short-circuit evaluation]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short-circuit_evaluation
+[ternary operators]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ternary_conditional_operator
{{% /note %}}
+
+
+Due to the absence of short-circuit evaluation, these examples throw an error:
+
