 /**
  * The iterator tag can export an IteratorStatus object so that
- * one can get information about the status of the iteration, such as
- * the size, current index, and whether any more items are available.
- *
+ * one can get information about the status of the iteration, such as:
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>index: current iteration index, starts on 0 and increments in one on every iteration</li>
+ * <li>count: iterations so far, starts on 1. count is always index + 1</li>
+ * <li>first: true if index == 0</li>
+ * <li>even: true if (index + 1) % 2 == 0</li>
+ * <li>last: true if current iteration is the last iteration</li> 
+ * <li>odd: true if (index + 1) % 2 == 1</li>
+ * </ul>
+ * <p>Example</p>
+ * <pre>
+ *   &lt;s:iterator status="status" value='%{0, 1}'&gt;
+ *      Index: &lt;s:property value="%{#status.index}" /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
+ *      Count: &lt;s:property value="%{#status.count}" /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;  
+ *   &lt;/s:iterator>
+ * </pre>
+ * 
+ * <p>will print</p>
+ * <pre>
+ *      Index: 0
+ *      Count: 1
+ *      Index: 1
+ *      Count: 2
+ * </pre>
