Counters
############################################################

Everything LaTeX numbers for you has a counter associated 
with it. The name of the counter is the same as the name 
of the environment or command that produces the number, 
except with no \. (enumi - enumiv are used for the nested 
enumerate environment.) Below is a list of the counters 
used in LaTeX's standard document classes to control 
numbering. 

	part	paragraph	figure	enumi
	chapter	subparagraph	table	enumii
	section	page	footnote	enumiii
	subsection	equation	mpfootnote	enumiv
	subsubsection

	\addtocounter: Add a quantity to a counter. 
	\alph: Print value of a counter using letters. 
	\arabic: Print value of a counter using numerals. 
	\fnsymbol: Print value of a counter using symbols. 
	\newcounter: Define a new counter. 
	\refstepcounter: Add to counter, resetting subsidiary counters. 
	\roman: Print value of a counter using roman numerals. 
	\setcounter: Set the value of a counter. 
	\stepcounter: Add to counter, resetting subsidiary counters. 
	\usecounter: Use a specified counter in a list environment. 
	\value: Use the value of a counter in an expression. 

############################################################
	\addtocounter ::addtocounter::
############################################################
\addtocounter{counter}{value} 
The \addtocounter command increments the counter by the 
amount specified by the value argument. The value argument 
can be negative. 
############################################################
	\alph ::alph::
############################################################
\alph{counter} 
This command causes the value of the counter to be printed 
in alphabetic characters. The \alph command uses lower case 
alphabetic alphabetic characters, i.e., a, b, c... while the 
\Alph command uses upper case alphabetic characters, 
i.e., A, B, C.... 
############################################################
	\arabic ::arabic::
############################################################
\arabic{counter} 
The \arabic command causes the value of the counter to be 
printed in Arabic numbers, i.e., 3. 
############################################################
	\fnsymbol ::fnsymbol::
############################################################
\fnsymbol{counter} 
The \fnsymbol command causes the value of the counter to be 
printed in a specific sequence of nine symbols that can be 
used for numbering footnotes. eg. From 1-9: 
NB. counter must have a value between 1 and 9 inclusive. 
############################################################
	\newcounter ::newcounter::
############################################################
\newcounter{foo}[counter] 
The \newcounter command defines a new counter named foo. The 
counter is initialized to zero. 
The optional argument [counter] causes the counter foo to be 
reset whenever the counter named in the optional argument is 
incremented. 
############################################################
	\refstepcounter ::refstepcounter::
############################################################
\refstepcounter{counter} 
The \refstepcounter command works like \stepcounter See 
section \stepcounter, except it also defines the current 
\ref value to be the result of \thecounter. 
############################################################
	\roman ::roman
############################################################
\roman{counter} 
This command causes the value of the counter to be printed 
in Roman numerals. The \roman command uses lower case Roman 
numerals, i.e., i, ii, iii..., while the \Roman command uses 
upper case Roman numerals, i.e., I, II, III.... 
############################################################
	\stepcounter ::stepcounter::
############################################################
\stepcounter{counter} 
The \stepcounter command adds one to the counter and resets 
all subsidiary counters. 
############################################################
	\setcounter ::setcounter::
############################################################
\setcounter{counter}{value} 
The \setcounter command sets the value of the counter to that
specified by the value argument. 
############################################################
	\usecounter ::usecounter::
############################################################
\usecounter{counter} 
The \usecounter command is used in the second argument of the 
list environment to allow the counter specified to be used to 
number the list items. 
############################################################
	\value ::value::
############################################################
\value{counter} 
The \value command produces the value of the counter named 
in the mandatory argument. It can be used where LaTeX expects 
an integer or number, such as the second argument of a 
\setcounter or \addtocounter command, or in: 
        \hspace{\value{foo}\parindent}
It is useful for doing arithmetic with counters.
