I think in either direction you're bounded by normal displayed lines
and `o` nodes (you would need to adjust the text part of the template
to ask for more lines).

Counting would start w/ 0 being equivalent to the `o` node, and each
line after that is a line. Counting stops at the point where you hit
the next `o`.
