    Hi, I want to use the following to format a list using SmartFormat,

    "{Names:l:{}|, | {Not:nor|or} }"

    Names is a list of string
    Not is a boolean

    It's giving a result like "John, Mary Amy", expecting "John, Mary nor Amy"

    Can I nest the conditional (Not) formatter inside the list formater?

    Thanks for any help.

    Hi,

    At the moment the spacers are treated as literal text so don't support formatting. This seems like something we could support so ill look into getting it added in the future.
    For now, you will need to find an alternative approach. Perhaps inverting it into 2 versions like so?

    {Not:{Names:l:{}|, | nor }|{Names:l:{}|, | or } }
