Repeating structure with extra div and alternating content

Based on the solution in this post: https://stackoverflow.com/a/72855239/5160621 I have a structure of repeating items with extra divs after every fourth item:

{% for values in items|batch(4) %}
    {% for value in values %}
        <div>{{ value }}</div>
    {% endfor %}
    {% if loop.index0 is even %}
        <div class="xyz">Div 1</div>
    {% else %}
        <div class="xyz">Div 2</div>
    {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

Now I want to display alternating contents in the second extra div, something like:

{% for values in items|batch(4) %}
    {% for value in values %}
        <div>{{ value }}</div>
    {% endfor %}
    {% if loop.index0 is even %}
        <div class="xyz">Div 1</div>
    {% else %}
        {% first appearance show: %}<div class="xyz">Div 2</div>
        {% then show: %}<div class="xyz">Div 3</div>
    {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

Is it possible?

You can solve this in a couple ways.

  1. Use an extra "flag" variable

Just define the "flag" outside the for-loop. You can toggle the value of the flag with the following snippet:

{% set flag = false %}
...
...
{% set flag = not flag %}

This will set the flag to true when the flag was false and vice versa.

{% set alternate = false %}

{% for values in items|batch(4) %}
    {% for value in values %}
        <div>{{ value }}</div>
    {% endfor %}
    {% if loop.index0 is even %}
        <div class="xyz">Div 1</div>
    {% else %}
        {% if alternate %}
            <div class="xyz">Div 3</div>        
        {% else %}
            <div class="xyz">Div 2</div>
        {% endif %}
        
        {% set alternate = not alternate %}
    {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

  1. Use the already existing loop variable

If you count out when the div 3 should occur you'll notice the div should be displayed at the following 0-indexed indices:

3, 7, 11, 15, ...

But if you use loop.index instead of loop.index0, you can see each index is divisible by 4:

4, 8, 12, 16, ...

{% for values in items|batch(4) %}
    {% for value in values %}
        <div>{{ value }}</div>
    {% endfor %}
    {% if loop.index0 is even %}
        <div class="xyz">Div 1</div>
    {% else %}
        {% if loop.index is divisible by(4) %}
            <div class="xyz">Div 3</div>        
        {% else %}
            <div class="xyz">Div 2</div>
        {% endif %}
    {% endif %}
{% endfor %}
