[Zope] Increment In PT?

[Peter Bengtsson]

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.
