-`after` slices an array to only the items after the *N*th item. Combining `after` with `first` uses both use both halves of an array split at item *N*.
-
-Works on [lists](/templates/list/), [taxonomies](/taxonomies/displaying/), [terms](/templates/terms/), and [groups](/templates/list/).
-
-## Example: All Pages Starting with 10
+`after` slices an array to only the items after the <em>N</em>th item. The following shows `after` being used in conjunction with the [`slice` function][slice]:
 
 ```html
-{{ range after 10 .Data.Pages }}
-  {{ .Render "title" }}
+{{ $data := slice "one" "two" "three" "four" }}
+{{ range after 2 $data }}
+    {{ . }}
 {{ end }}
+→ ["three", "four"]
 ```
 
+## Using `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 `yoursite.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.
