So how can this information be marked up in HTML in an accessible manner?

Well, I cannot remember where I got the inspiration for this from – if I remember I will post an update – but here is the HTML that I decided to use:

<span class="summary">
    Showing 1<abbr title="out of a total of">/</abbr>8
</span>

Pretty nifty eh?

Please let me know what you think.
