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.
