Splitting a list into "N" chunks

[asmaloney]

I'm trying to take a list of objects (QList<QObject *>), split it into "N" chunks, and build a separate (HTML) table for each chunk.

I'm doing something like:

  {% range objectList.count as startNum %}
    {% if startNum|divisibleby:16 %}
      {% include "table.html.django" %}
    {% endif %}
  {% endrange %}

I've tried this for table.html.django:

<table>
     <thead><tr><th>Name</th></tr></thead>
     <tbody>
       {% range startNum startNum|add:16 as num %}
       <tr><td>{{ num }} {{ objectList.num.name }}</td></tr>
       {% endrange %}
   </tbody>
 </table>

But that doesn't reference the list item properly and I don't see how to access a specific item in a list when I have a variable ("num"). Is there a way to do this?

I tried using slice, but looking at SliceFilter::doFilter() it seems like it only works on lists of strings. Is that correct?

Any suggestions on how to approach this?
