local variable

How do I declare a local variable
@counter
and use it in a loop

I would suggest you use Rocker's @for command for iterating thru collections. Please consult the syntax docs for more info. There's a very handy "rocker iterator" object that can be included along with iterating that lets you get the current index, check for last/first, etc.

As far as local variable declarations, you would potentially achieve that with the @with command, but I consider creating variables in a template a practice you should try to avoid. I purposefully make it hard to declare variables in the templates since I think it creates spaghetti-like templates. You can either call out to Java methods to achieve a better (more testable) result or redesign your template arguments to accept better prepped data that doesn't need variables. For any iterations, definitely leave that to the @for command.

Thanks. @for works
