Answer 1

i am not sure what you are trying to do but if you want only first three to be executed set the counter value to 3 instead collection.length

 {{for(j=0;j<3;j++){ }}
<h5 style="color:#F30;">{{=model[j].name}}</h5> 
        {{for  (i = 0; i < model[j].subcollection.length; i++) {  }}  
               <li><a>{{=model[j].subcollection[i].split('#')[0]}}</a></li>
         {{ } }} 
{{ } }}

note : make sure the length is at least 3.
