Freemarker nested list

this works fine: ``` <#list myObjects as myObject> <tr> <td>${myObject.person.surname}</td> <td>${myObject.myListOfCountries[0].city.name}</td> </tr> </#list> ``` However if I instead try to create a nested list like so, which does not work : ``` <#list myObjects as myObject> <tr> <td>${myObject.person.surname}</td> <#list myObject.myListOfCountries as item> <td>${item.city.name</td> </#list> </tr> </#list> ``` the error I receive is shown below : ``` freemarker.core.ParseException: Encountered "/" ``` Any ideas what causes the error - are nested lists allowed in freemarker ?
