Article Numbering
I feel like this should be simple but I can’t figure it out.
I just want to number a list of articles. 1, 2, 3, 4 … Ultimately I’m trying to use the numbers as unique css IDs for each article. I know each article has a unique id but I need the list to always be in numerical order not dependent on the sort attribute.
I’ve tried using inline php in the article form to try to count the articles as they are rendered but I’m not fluent and can’t seem to find the right solution.
Anyone have any ideas.

Re: Article Numbering
If you only need a limited number of articles, I think it can be done with the variable and if_variable tags, but you’d still need quite a few tags. So maybe rvm_counter is a better solution.

Re: Article Numbering
If you try rvm_counter, use this modified version.
The original one keeps the count on the server side, and the count is affected if a page gets two or more hits almost at the same time.
Even better, try adi_calc
