**(interlaced: // [[harlowe:Array|array]], ...Array//) -> //Array//** Takes multiple [[harlowe:array|array]], and pairs up each value in those arrays: it creates an array containing each array's first value followed by each array's second value, and so forth. If some values have no matching pair (i.e. one array is longer than the other) then those values are ignored. === Example usage: === ''%%(interlaced: (a: 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D'), (a: 1, 2, 3))%%'' is the same as ''%%(a: 'A',1,'B',2,'C',3)%%'' === Rationale: === There are a couple of other macros which accept data in pairs - the most notable being [[harlowe:dm|(dm:)]], which takes data names and data values paired. This macro can help with using such macros. For instance, you can supply an array of [[harlowe:datanames|(datanames:)]] and [[harlowe:datavalues|(datavalues:)]] to (interlaced:), and supply that to [[harlowe:dm|(dm:)]], to produce the original [[harlowe:datamap|datamap]] again. Or, you can supply just the names, and use a macro like [[harlowe:repeated|(repeated:)]] to fill the other values. However, (interlaced:) can also be of use alongside macros which accept a sequence: you can use it to cleanly insert values between each item. For instance, one can pair an array with another array of spaces, and then convert them to a [[harlowe:string|string]] with [[harlowe:text|(text:)]]. ''%%(text: ...(interlaced: $arr, (repeated: $arr's length, ' '))%%'' will create a string containing each element of $arr, followed by a space. === Details: === If one of the arrays provided is empty, the resulting array will be empty, as well. === See also: === [[harlowe:a|(a:)]], [[harlowe:rotated|(rotated:)]], [[harlowe:repeated|(repeated:)]]
