   This has a typo:
   
   

   {if lv_brochures_news} == ""} 

   
   
   If used like that, you'd need to enable Early Parsing for that var, and use this syntax:
   
   

   {if lv_brochures_news == ""}

   
   
   ...without the } at the end of the var name.
   
   Or just use the {count} way:
   
   

   {exp:low_variables:pair var="lv_news_brochures"} 
      {if count == 1}<ul>{/if} 
        <li>...</li> 
      {if count == total_results}</ul>{/if} 
    {/exp:low_variables:pair}

   OK, the count method works, thanks.
   
   But how about a PT Switch? This does not work (some tags are stripped by GS)
   
   {if lv_brochures_news =="y"}
   
   

   
   
   • {exp:transcribe:replace name="latest_news"}
   
   {exp:channel:entries channel="news" limit="3"}
   • {title}
   
   {/exp:channel:entries}
   
   
   
   {/if}

   Has lv_brochures_news got Early Parsing enabled? And is the value actually 'y' when it's on?

   Both: yes...

   It works perfectly: sorry: typo :-( Unbelievable how may times you can read code without seeing it. Thanks anyway!

   Well there you go. Glad you got it working.
