If you just want to print 4 stars, then just do that. * * * *
If you are looking for some indentation background, you could try
something like the following on a div:
style="background:url('star.gif') right repeat-y;"
If you are looking for something like <TMPL_FOR 1..4> then you probably
need to re-evaluate why you need it - maybe you need to re-think your
original problem. That said, there have been previous discussions on
whether the TMPL_xxx syntax should support user-defined extensions, and
various people have their own hacks to allow such a feature (which would
then allow you to build your TMPL_FOR).
What is the problem you are trying to solve? Someone here might have
solved it already...
