This is how I see it working, with semantic markup, feel free to rip it apart and make it better. <ul class="homepage-news-items"> <?php foreach($newsItems as $newsItem): ?> <li> <p class="news-title"><?php echo htmlentities($newsItem['title'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'); ?></p> <p class="news-content"> <?php echo htmlentities(truncateNewsItem($newsItem['content'], 100), ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'); ?> </p> </li> <?php endforeach; ?> </ul> - Paul.
