[opencms-dev] get item count with contentloop

[eelboy at aol.com]

Hi,

Is there a way to get the count of items with cms:contentloop - or some 
other tag?  I just need to know when I've reached the last one.  I tried 
a cms:contentcheck - but I have to do this from within the 
cms:contentloop.  I tried putting an xPath type expression in the 
ifexists attribute (like "../Element[{$index}]) but it didn't work.

I feel like there must be a way to do it without having to loop through 
twice!

thanks for any help
