Hi,  
I wonder what is the nicest way to emulate for loop in html template. Sorry to ask such a basic question, but google search doesn’t help in this case. Thanks!

```auto
for i = 0; i < 5; i++ {
   ...
}

```

Go templates has no traditional for loop.

You have to `range` over a list.

The closest thing in Hugo:

```auto
{{ range $i, $sequence := (seq 5) }}
{{ $i }}: {{ $sequence }}
{{ end }}

```

The above should print:

```auto
0: 1
1: 2
2: 3
3: 4
4: 5

```

Is the seq function documented somewhere?
