Expression Engine Entries Loop Index

Question

Does Expression Engine entries loop have a variable to show which index you're on for each iteration? I found the {count} and {total_results} in the docs, but cant seem to find the variable that spits out the index of the iteration. Does EE even have one?

I know I could do this by turning on PHP and using PHP to give me the index number, but i'm trying to avoid using PHP.

This might be a better question to ask at: expressionengine.stackexchange.com? Information hovering the expressionengine tag seems to suggest. — Paul T.

I think you are looking for {absolute_count}

I know about {absolute_count}, but thats not what I was looking for. For example if you have 3 entries and you run a channel entries loop, I'd like to get the current iteration number (Ie.: 0, 1, 2).

To get the index number you can use {absolute_index}.
