[stringtemplate-interest] "x of n" integer expansion (or sequence expansion)

But remember that StringTemplate is the view and so you cannot place any logic in it such as loops or comparisons, this is what the code that creates/handles your model is for. Knowing what n is, then you can add n templates as attributes, but you can create a renderer that will give you the next number in a sequence it tracks and returns the string value of it. Renderers are trivial to crate but try not to break the model/view separation as this is important but a renderer allows you to fly over the radar if you don't keep the concepts in mind.
