Does contemplate support a row counter or stripe variable like views does?

In other words something that keeps track of which teaser is being displayed on a page. This allows things like alternating colours for rows or doing things like putting teasers into a multi-column table.

I can't seem to find this in any of the variables that exist when the teaser tpl is hit.

That type of behavior can (and should) be handled at the theme layer.

hmm, yes, ok i guess that makes sense and is comparable to what view templating does.

so basically (in reverse order) we have:

page.tpl -> node.tpl -> teaser (contemplate)

and i think you are suggesting it should be done in the node.tpl .. and i just looked and sure enough there it is... $variables['id'] gives a running count (although likely not a paged version of it).

thanks,
