# |make_list

converts the value to a list of characters.

## Documentation

Converts the value to a list of characters. Non-string values are first converted to strings.

number = 123456789
```

#### Template

```django
{{ company|make_list }}<br>
{{ 123456789|make_list }}
```

#### Result

```django
['W', 'e', 'b', 'u', 'c', 'a', 't', 'o', 'r']<br>
['1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9']
```
