      Hello Atlassians,

      I'd really like to request an increment macro. Here is an example in a table:

      increment Apples
      increment Bananas
      increment Coconuts

      When the page is parsed, it would be shown as follows:

      1 Apples
      2 Bananas
      3 Coconuts

      In addition, you should be able put the increments in groups so you can have several on a page.

      {increment:group=fruit} Apples
      {increment:group=fruit} Bananas
      {increment:group=fruit} Coconuts
      {increment:group=veg} Aubergines
      {increment:group=veg} Beans
      {increment:group=veg} Carrots

      Becomes

      1 Apples
      2 Bananas
      3 Coconuts
      1 Aubergines
      2 Beans
      3 Carrots

      Also, specifying a unique ID for a counter would mean you can reference an increment instance.

      {increment:group=list_of_presents}

      Teddy bear

      {increment:group=list_of_presents:id=my_favourite_present}

      Optimus Prime

      {increment:group=list_of_presents}

      Box of chocolates

      You can now put:

      "Please see present #

      {increment:value_of=my_favourite_present}

      which was my best ever!"

      In addition, you'd be able to attach child-increments into parents and have decimal-based numbers like 1.4, 5.3.21 etc.

      Thank you for your time. Keep up the good work! d
