How do you get to display checkbox items in list or detail layouts?

Question

Hi,
I have searched everyhwere for what I felt would be standard stuff in web apps, now lost a day to it!
None of the online videos/knowledge base articles or this forum seem to cover it but I can't believe you wouldn't be able to do it.
If I have created checkbox fields in my web apps how do I get them to display in the main templates (details and list) as list items, ul, ol or dl or anything else other than raw output?
How do I wrap the nessersary html around the values? Jquery for now I guess or is there some hidden liquid layout or tag parameter/value I don't know of?
And whilst I'm on it is my only option to not show or show content based on a boolean true/false value to do it through jquery/css?
Help appreciated, so desperate now!
Regards

Hi Mary,
Thanks for the help. I saw that somewhere though Adobe's making this forum nice and tricky to find anything! Relied on google caching for most useful stuff I've found to bybass the redirect to the first forum page.
I needed it to wrap around the items so came up with this:
<script type="text/javascript">
     $(document).ready(function () {
     // Populate a dl with checkbox items or choose any other html to wrap around items
         var checkItems="{tag_checkboxItems}";
         $('#dlID').html('<dt>Items List Title</dt><dd>'+checkItems.split(",").join("</dd><dd>")+'</dd>');
          // #dlID can be anything but identifys the html element that you setup to contain your list of items in my case it was a dl with id #dlID
</script>
If there is a better SEO method to do this please let me know.
Frankly I've been  amazed that web apps don't really support conditional statments and there is little to no information on achieving it through jquery (my first projects have been fairly basic)...roll on fluild layouts I guess.
Failing that maybe Adobe could produce something in the knowledge base or videos which really do cover more advanced implementaion of web apps. I doubt anyone using web apps or having had experience of other CMS would really consider showing or hiding content based on boolean results or looping to create lists all that advanced, it's more a fundemental function of a CMS.
P.S Thanks again to both of you.
