+
+
+It might be very convenient to have counters that are automatically reset not only by a driving counter such as \CHDocCounter*{chapter} but also periodically, i.e. after a certain amount of steps -- this can be achieved with the concept of periodic counters.
+
+\subsection{Commands related to periodic counters setup}
+
+\begin{docCommand}[before={\CHDocNew{0.9}}]{DeclarePeriodicCounter}{\oarg{}\marg{counter name}\marg{counter treshold value}}
+This defines the counter given in the first mandatory argument as a periodic counter and is automatically reset if the treshold value is reached. 
+
+\begin{marker}
+The command \refCom{DeclarePeriodicCounter} does not define a new counter, however but is the preamble-only version of \refCom{AddPeriodicCounter}. 
+\end{marker}
+
+Please note that in case of \cs{addtocounter} applied to a periodic counter the value to be added leads to a modulo division such that the counter might be reset if the addition would increase the counter beyond the treshold value, the module part will be added then. In order to prevent this wrapping, use the \refKey{wrap} option to \refCom{addtocounter}: 
+
+\begin{dispExample}
+  \setcounter{foocntr}{3}% 
+  \AddPeriodicCounter{foocntr}{8}% 
+  
+  Value of foocntr is: \thefoocntr  % Should be 3
+
+  \addtocounter{foocntr}{20} % Is it 23? No, it is 23 % 8 = 7
+  Value of foocntr is \thefoocntr\ now! 
+
+  Adding a value of 4 again: 
+  \addtocounter{foocntr}{4} % Is it 11? No, it is 11 % 8 = 3
+  Value of foocntr is \thefoocntr\ now! 
+
+  Now prevent the wrapping
+  \addtocounter{foocntr}{10}[wrap=false] % Is it 13? Yes, it is!
+  Value of foocntr is \thefoocntr\ now! 
+
+\end{dispExample}
+\end{docCommand}
+
+\begin{docCommand}[before={\CHDocNew{0.9}}]{AddPeriodicCounter}{\oarg{}\marg{counter name}\marg{counter treshold value}}

+\end{docCommand}
+

+\begin{docCommand}[before={\CHDocNew{0.9}}]{RemovePeriodicCounter}{\oarg{options}\marg{counter name}\marg{counter treshold value}}
+This defines the counter given in the first mandatory argument as a periodic counter and is automatically reset if the treshold value is reached.

+
+  As of version \packageversion, there is only one option: 
+  \begin{docKey}[][before={\CHDocNew{0.9}}]{reset}{=\meta{true/false}}{initially true}
+      Use `false` to prevent the resetting of the relevant counter after removal! 
+    \end{docKey}
+  \item \marg{counter name} -- the name of the counter that should be no periodic counter any longer. 
+\end{codeoptionsenum}
+
+\end{docCommand}
+
+\begin{docCommand}[before={\CHDocNew{0.9}}]{ChangePeriodicCounterCondition}{\oarg{options}\marg{counter name}\marg{new counter treshold value}}
+This changes the counter treshold condition -- the counter is reset automatically if not specified otherwise with the \refKey{reset} option. 
+
+\begin{codeoptionsenum}
+\item \oarg{options} 
+  
+  As of version \packageversion, there is only one option: \refKey{reset}, which serves the same functionality as in \refCom{RemovePeriodicCounter}. 
+\item \marg{counter name} -- the name of the counter that should be no periodic counter any longer. 
+\item \marg{new counter value treshold} -- the new value after which an automatic resetting will occur.

 However, there is a solution to this problem: The hypertarget anchors are built up from the specifications of a macro \cs{theH...} where the ellipses stands for the counter name. If for example \cs{theHchapter} is changed after a counter was reset the hypertargets will again be correct, since this will provide a different target name. \cs{BackupCounterValues} does this resetting automatically in an unique way and \cs{RestoreCounterValues} restores as well the old \cs{theH...} macros of all counters that are in the backup list. It tracks the number of calls to \cs{BackupCounterValues} and changes the relevant \cs{theH...} macro definitions to use unique anchor names then -- this way multiple \cs{BackupCounterValues} calls are possible without destroying the hyperlink facicilities with \packagename{hyperref}.
