 13 Counters
 ***********
 
 Everything LaTeX numbers for you has a counter associated with it.  The
 name of the counter is often the same as the name of the environment or
 command associated with the number, except with no backslash ('\').
 Thus the '\chapter' command starts a chapter and the 'chapter' counter
 keeps track of the chapter number.  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
 
    The 'mpfootnote' counter is used by the '\footnote' command inside of
 a minipage (minipage).
 
    The 'enumi' through 'enumiv' counters are used in the 'enumerate'
 environment, for up to four nested levels (enumerate).
 
    New counters are created with '\newcounter'.  \newcounter.
