Title: Nested [e2pdf-format-output]? Last modified: April 8, 2021 --- # Nested [e2pdf-format-output]? * [nicmare](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nicmare/) * (@nicmare) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nested-e2pdf-format-output/) * in my formidable pro form i have a field value (type checkbox with images) with html and it looks just fine everywhere: * ```
ALVA Lounge
20-60 Personen

600 € Raummiete
zzgl. Nebenkosten
Lichtermeer
40-120 Personen

1.000€ Raummiete
zzgl. Nebenkosten
Panorama Lounge
50-120 Personen

1.200€ Raummiete
zzgl. Nebenkosten
Großes Theater
60-160 Personen

1.000€ Raummiete
zzgl.
``` * the challenge is to output it in e2pdf template this way: `ALVA Lounge, Lichtermeer, Panorama Lounge, Großes Theater` what i have managed so far is this: `[e2pdf- format-output search="
" replace=" " filter="strip_tags,html_entity_decode"][ 220][/e2pdf-format-output]` this will generated this output: **ALVA Lounge** 20-60 Personen 600 € Raummiete zzgl. Nebenkosten **Lichtermeer** 40-120 Personen 1.000€ Raummiete zzgl. Nebenkosten **Panorama Lounge** 50-120 Personen 1.200€ Raummiete zzgl. Nebenkosten **Großes Theater** 60-160 Personen 1.000€ Raummiete zzgl. Nebenkosten * so i get each value in a separate line where the title is bold. bold is fine. now i need to get rid of everything after that and then put everything in one line to achieve this goal (once again): `ALVA Lounge, Lichtermeer, Panorama Lounge, Großes Theater` * my approach was something like this: `[e2pdf-format-output search="
" replace =" " filter="strip_tags,html_entity_decode" explode="" implode=", "][ 220][/e2pdf-format-output]` * but it does not work. also tried this: `[e2pdf-format-output explode="" implode=", "][e2pdf-format-output search="
" replace=" " filter="strip_tags, html_entity_decode"][220][/e2pdf-format-output][/e2pdf-format-output]` it is not working neither 🙁 * just for your information how it looks in the frontend form: [⌊image⌉](https://ibb.co/K7vWJQL) Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * Plugin Author [E2Pdf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/oleksandrz/) * (@oleksandrz) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nested-e2pdf-format-output/#post-14294236) * – Is this value must be showed inside E2Pdf Template in separated field/object? Or field/object has other Formidable Forms shortcodes? * -Do you use HTML object or textarea/input? - This reply was modified 5 years, 1 month ago by [E2Pdf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/oleksandrz/). * Thread Starter [nicmare](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nicmare/) * (@nicmare) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nested-e2pdf-format-output/#post-14294258) * i use the html object to output the stored value in [220]. do not understand your first question. the value can be outputted in one html object of e2pdf. just like a long string separated by comma. desired output in e2pdf as one line:` ALVA Lounge, Lichtermeer, Panorama Lounge, Großes Theater` * Plugin Author [E2Pdf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/oleksandrz/) * (@oleksandrz) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nested-e2pdf-format-output/#post-14294291) * Try to use please following shortcode if you do not have separate values: * `[e2pdf-format-output search="20-60 Personen600 € Raummietezzgl.

|||||||||
" replace="|||, ||||||" filter="strip_tags,html_entity_decode, replace,substr,remove_tags" remove_tags="title"][220][/e2pdf-format-output]` * “Disable WYSIWYG Editor” option must be checked: [https://prnt.sc/117i1u1](https://prnt.sc/117i1u1) * P.S. We will think on adding some functionality for easier usage in such cases.
