# |slice
returns a slice of a sequence.
## Documentation
Returns a slice of a sequence.
### Variable
```django
company = 'Webucator'
```
### Template
```django
{{ company|slice:'4:7' }}
```
### Result
```django
cat
```
## Commentary
This is extremely useful for outputting subsets of querysets in a Django template. For example, if you only want to show the first three results of your queryset and hide the rest under a “Show More” link, you use two loops with slicing:
```django
{% for color in widget.colors|slice:':3' %}
{{ color }}
{% endfor %}
{% for color in widget.colors|slice:'3:' %}
