committed first version

In jstl, both values are available as "index" (0-based) and "count" (1-based). How about we do the same in SiblingsHelper ?

(although I'd favor "position" instead of "count" ...)

Comment by Philipp Bracher [ 14/Nov/08 ]

I am against it. How should someone understand the difference between index and position? Since 0 is the common start value in Java, jsp, .. no one will be surprised and if needed he just uses +1.

How should someone understand the difference between index and position

By checking the (java)docs, just like for jstl and others. It would avoid "magic numbers" in templates, and consistency might be easier to achieve. On the other hand, I also agree with your point

Now only exposing the index property, still as a 0-based index.
