So not the whole list of items, but just one item to the layout that helps me to know. This specific item is calling from preacher, and I can on that basis do certain implementation [00:01:24](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52OLSZio0F8&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h01m24s) to ensure that the layout displays in the way I expected.

**How Tempaltes Call Layouts** **How Templates Call Layouts**
We will open your template that calls the layout. We want to see that initial setup and one of the templates that really illustrates this very well [00:01:54](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52OLSZio0F8&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h01m54s) is this sermon list. So I'm going to open sermon list. In sermon list you see that I'm looping through the items. Then I am adding some parameters to the item object. One of them is the params, the other is I'm taking the description and making sure that it's escaped, and it is no longer than 90 characters.

Now let's go look at this specific layout 'JlayoutHelper::render(study class render)(sermonlist item)'.
