Perch Every Tag Question

Perch 3.0.9

<perch:before>
  <div class=“row”>
</perch:before>
Your code here
<perch:every count="3">
  </div>
  <div class=“row”>
</perch:every>
<perch:after>
  </div>
</perch:after>

Watched the video confused. With the every tag, you basically have the </div> tag in there twice is that correct?

I want a row of 3 items to fill itself with items I type in. Connected with this will have to be the ability to put perch code within perch code. I need to be able to have <perch:if exists="address<perch:content id="number" type="text" label="Item number"> This id="number" would be put in for every instance in that entry of a numbered area i.e. image1, link1 and others. Will that work? Then I want to put that statement in the every statement so I can have multiple google maps connected to information on the page without having to hardcode number the items. Is that possible?

<perch:if exists="address1"><perch:before><dl></perch:before><dt>
<perch:if exists="image1"><img src="<perch:content type="image" id="image1" label="Image" width="200" />" alt="<perch:content type="text" id="alt1" label="Description" required="false" help="e.g. Photo of MD John Smith with his best wig on" title="true" />" /><br /></perch:if>
<perch:if exists="link1"><a href="<perch:content id="link1" type="text" label="Link" />"><perch:content id="name1" type="text" label="Name" /></a></perch:if>
<perch:if exists="name1a"><perch:content id="name1a" type="text" label="Name if no link" /></perch:if>
</dt>
<dd><perch:content id="address1" type="text" label="Address" /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <a data-open="exampleModal11"><perch:content id="word1" type="text" label="Put in word Map if not empty field" /></a> <div class="reveal" id="exampleModal11" data-reveal> <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/<perch:content id="address1" type="text" Label="Address" />">MAP HERE</a> 
 <button class="close-button" data-close aria-label="Close reveal" type="button">    <span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span></button></div>
 <br /><a href="tel:<perch:content id="phone1" type="text" label="Phone" />"><perch:content id="phone1" type="text" label="Phone" /></a><br />
<perch:content id="textb1" type="textarea" label="Paragraph Description" html="true" editor="ckeditor" imagewidth="640" imageheight="480" />
 <br /> </dd> <perch:after></dl></perch:after></perch:if>

No, that won't work.

Is there any workaround that would work. Or does it have to be hard coded.

You shouldn't need to manage Perch IDs in that way - I think you might be overcomplicating things. If you have a multiple item region then it should just work.

If you need specific IDs for your front end code, that's a completely different issue.
