How to get value and text of item selected in liferay's web-content velocity template?

Question

I have structure with 1 Selection List and 1 Multi-Selection List

<dynamic-element name="mySLMenu" type="list" index-type="keyword" repeatable="false">
    <dynamic-element name="itemOne" type="0" index-type="" repeatable="false"></dynamic-element>
    <dynamic-element name="itemTwo" type="1" index-type="" repeatable="false"></dynamic-element>        
</dynamic-element>
<dynamic-element name="myMSMenu" type="multi-list" index-type="" repeatable="false">
    <dynamic-element name="itemOne" type="0" index-type="" repeatable="false"></dynamic-element>
    <dynamic-element name="itemTwo" type="1" index-type="" repeatable="false"></dynamic-element>    
</dynamic-element>

I use the following in my velocity, for Selection List:

$mySLMenu.getData()

and for Multi-selection List:

#if($myMSMenu.getOptions().size() >0)
    <select multiple>
    #foreach($item in $myMSMenu.getOptions())
        <option> $item </option>
    #end
    </select>
#end

But it only returns me the type of selected item, I want to get both the type(value) and text(name), please show me the way.

The information of name is not stored to JournalArticle in the database, in the DB you have only the types:

<dynamic-content>\u000a\u0009\u0009\u0009<option><![CDATA[0]]></option>\u000a\u0009\u0009\u0009<option><![CDATA[1]]></option>\u000a\u0009\u0009</dynamic-content>\u000a\u0009</dynamic-element>

However you cannot simple hold this information from multi-list element.

Recommendation: If this enoughts your requriments you can take the same type as name:

<dynamic-element name="myMSMenu" type="multi-list" index-type="" repeatable="false">
    <dynamic-element name="itemOne" type="itemOne" index-type="" repeatable="false"></dynamic-element>
    <dynamic-element name="itemTwo" type="itemTwo" index-type="" repeatable="false"></dynamic-element>    
</dynamic-element>
