+Use the ``vlan_parser`` filter to manipulate an unsorted list of VLAN integers into a
+sorted string list of integers according to IOS-like VLAN list rules. This list has the following properties:
+
+* Vlans are listed in ascending order.
+* Three or more consecutive VLANs are listed with a dash.
+* The first line of the list can be first_line_len characters long.
+* Subsequent list lines can be other_line_len characters.
+
+To sort a VLAN list::
+
+    {{ [3003, 3004, 3005, 100, 1688, 3002, 3999] | vlan_parser }}
+
+This example renders the folllowing sorted list::
+
+    ['100,1688,3002-3005,3999']
+
+
+Another example Jinja template::
+
+    {% set parsed_vlans = vlans | vlan_parser %}
+    switchport trunk allowed vlan {{ parsed_vlans[0] }}
+    {% for i in range (1, parsed_vlans | count) %}
+    switchport trunk allowed vlan add {{ parsed_vlans[i] }}
+
+This allows for dynamic generation of VLAN lists on a Cisco IOS tagged interface. You can store an exhaustive raw list of the exact VLANs required for an interface and then compare that to the parsed IOS output that would actually be generated for the configuration.
