<h3>{{ "Useful links" | trans }}</h3>
<ul>
{% for i in pimcore_block("linkblock").iterator %}
<li>{{ pimcore_link("myLink", {"class": "special-link-class"}) }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>

The above example renders a list of links: The links list in the backendThe links list in the backendThe links list in the backend
