+The following shows `after` being used in conjunction with the [`slice` function][slice]:
+
+```
+{{ $data := slice "one" "two" "three" "four" }}
+{{ range after 2 $data }}
+ {{ . }}
+{{ end }}
+→ ["three", "four"]
+```
+
+## Example of `after` with `first`: 2nd&ndash;4th Most Recent Articles
+
+You can use `after` in combination with the [`first` function][] and Hugo's [powerful sorting methods][lists]. Let's assume you have a list page at `example.com/articles`. You have 10 articles, but you want your templating for the [list/section page][] to show only two rows:
+
+1. The top row is titled "Featured" and shows only the most recently published article (i.e. by `publishdate` in the content files' front matter).
+2. The second row is titled "Recent Articles" and shows only the 2nd- to 4th-most recently published articles.
+
+{{< code file="layouts/section/articles.html" download="articles.html" >}}
+{{ define "main" }}
+<section class="row featured-article">
+ <h2>Featured Article</h2>
+ {{ range first 1 .Data.Pages.ByPublishDate.Reverse }}
+ <header>
+ <h3><a href="{{.Permalink}}">{{.Title}}</a></h3>
+ </header>
+ <p>{{.Description}}</p>
+ {{ end }}
+</section>
+<div class="row recent-articles">
+ <h2>Recent Articles</h2>
+ {{ range first 3 (after 1 .Data.Pages.ByPublishDate.Reverse) }}
+ <section class="recent-article">
+ <header>
+ <h3><a href="{{.Permalink}}">{{.Title}}</a></h3>
+ </header>
+ <p>{{.Description}}</p>
+ </section>
+ {{ end }}
+</div>
+{{ end }}
+{{< /code >}}
