I used "var" to indicate some variable. It was not meant that you
use "var" literally...

You must be very careful: both in reading and in writing.
And you must try to understand how things work.
And you must provide full error information (i.e. "Error Type",
"Error Value" and the traceback -- you find all of them
in the "error_log" object in your Zope "Root Folder").

If you use "repeat/variable" (again, "variable" is not meant literally,
but *some* "variable"), then "variable" must be a repeat variable
defined by an enclosing 'tal:repeat="variable ..."'.
If this is the case, then "repeat/variable/number" should work.
