-## 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:
 
 ```go-html-template
-{{ range after 1 (seq 20) }}
+{{ $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`:
-
-```go-html-template
-{{ range $index, $num := seq 20 }}
-  {{ $indexStartingAt1 := add $index 1 }}
-{{ end }}
-```
