5.3.8 `<al-lookup>`

The `<al-lookup>` tag is used primarily to allow internal application values to be converted to display form.

Enclosed by the `<al-lookup>` tag is a series of `<al-item>` (5.3.9) tags. Each `<al-item>` tag defines a unique translation of an internal application value to template HTML.

The content enclosed by an `<al-item>` tag is executed only when the lookup is referenced by an `<al-value>` tag. If the lookup value does not reference an item then the tag returns from the `<al-lookup>` any content that was not enclosed by an `<al-item>` tag.
