I find this a little clearer:

$ tpage
[%
BLOCK listem;
    FOR item IN items;
      item;
      ", " IF loop.count < loop.max;
      " or " IF loop.count == loop.max;
    END; # FOR
END; # BLOCK

FOR try = [0..5];
  try; ": <";
  INCLUDE listem items=[1..try];
  ">\n";
END; # try
%]
^D
0: <>
1: <1>
2: <1 or 2>
3: <1, 2 or 3>
4: <1, 2, 3 or 4>
5: <1, 2, 3, 4 or 5>
