-It's named and used in the model of [GNU's seq].

-3 → 1, 2, 3
-1 2 4 → 1, 3
--3 → -1, -2, -3
-1 4 → 1, 2, 3, 4
-1 -2 → 1, 0, -1, -2
+```go-html-template
+{{ seq 2 }} → [1 2]
+{{ seq 0 2 }} → [0 1 2]
+{{ seq -2 2 }} → [-2 -1 0 1 2]
+{{ seq -2 2 2 }} → [-2 0 2]
```
-## Example: `seq` with `range` and `after`
-
-You can use `seq` in combination with `range` and `after`. The following will return 19 elements:
+Iterate over a sequence of integers:
-```
-{{ range after 1 (seq 20)}}
+```go-html-template
+{{ $product := 1 }}
+{{ range seq 4 }}
+ {{ $product = mul $product . }}
{{ end }}
+{{ $product }} → 24
```
-
-However, when ranging with an index, the following may be less confusing in that `$indexStartingAt1` and `$num` will return `1,2,3 ... 20`:
-
-```
-{{ range $index, $num := (seq 20) }}
-$indexStartingAt1 := (add $index 1)
-{{ end }}
-```
