This would work:

<txp:article wraptag="ul" sort="Posted asc">
	<txp:zem_nth step="3" of="3">
		<li class="red"><txp:title /></li>
	</txp:zem_nth>
	<txp:zem_nth step="1-2" of="3">
		<li><txp:title /></li>
	</txp:zem_nth>
</txp:article>

Same thing more concisely:

<txp:article wraptag="ul" sort="Posted asc">
	<li<txp:zem_nth step="3" of="3"> class="red"></txp:zem_nth>><txp:title /></li>
</txp:article>

If you try to use two different calls to zem_nth on the same page you will run into problems. It’d be great if you could add an “id” so the counter would stay within a certain scope.

In almost all situations I end up using txp:variable and a ton of extra code because of zem_nth’s issues.

You also need adi_calc plugin though, which the article doesn’t mention.
