[Zope-dev] Iteration counter

Oh sorry, forgot that one...

Inside your loop, you can do:
<dtml-if sequence-end>
<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('counter',_['sequence-number'])">
</dtml-if>

But then again, this would only give the _total_ number of iterations that 
have been made. If you only need this number :-), then please forget 
everything that I wrote, and just use
sequence-length
or
_.len(WhatYouAreIteratingThrough)

Since you can't break out of a dtml-in, the number of iterations that will be 
made will always be equal to the number of items ("length") in your sequence.
