Now, I don't really want that <br /> tag there, because it's printing a number to screen that I don't want there. However, it only prints the number "1" twice, once for each product, when it should print 1 then 2, I would think. (I presume I should just take the tal:replace out and leave the definition, but it's still not incrementing!) Later in the script I have this:

<input type="hidden" tal:attributes="value item/name; name python:'item_name_' + `x`">
<input type="hidden" tal:attributes="value item/id; name python:'item_number_' + `x`">

and other similar lines. What I'm trying to effectuate is that the "x" gets replaced with an incremented number. Can you help just a little more?
TIA,
Tony

You can use the ZTUtils Iterator()

<div tal:define="iter python:modules['ZTUtils'].Iterator(range(1000))">
<br tal:define="dummy iter/next" tal:replace="iter/number" />
<br tal:define="dummy iter/next" tal:replace="iter/number" />
<br tal:define="dummy iter/next" tal:replace="iter/number" />
</div>

Which might give you some freedom such as iter/Roman or iter/odd
The above is practically the same as:

<br tal:repeat="i python:range(3)" tal:replace="i" />

Generally, if you can, use a Python Script or something. The Iterator is/was used in Plone templates to increment the tab index.
