What are you trying to accomplish?

Typically the format is:

<dtml-in ....>
  <dtml-if sequence-start>
    ...do something on the first loop iteration
  </dtml-if>

  ...do something for each iteration

  <dtml-if sequence-end>
    ...do something on the last loop iteration
  </dtml-if>

<dtml-else>
  ...do something if the dtml-in loop did not execute at least once
</dtml-in>
