 It means that you cannot save the counters for an enumeration and for an enclosing enumeration at the same time.

+Two general macros are defined for helping you to save a counter value into the global variable: 
 \begin{itemize}
 \item \texttt{{\textbackslash}savecounter\{name\}} \\
-	save the counter identifier by the given name;
+	save the value of the counter identified by the given name in a global variable.
+	The name of the counter must be previously defined with one of thee standard \LaTeX\ or \TeX\ macros, e.g. \texttt{{\textbackslash}newcounter};
 \item \texttt{{\textbackslash}restorecounter\{name\}} \\
-	put the previously saved value into the given counter;
+	put the previously saved value into the counter with the given name.
+	The name of the counter must be previously defined with one of thee standard \LaTeX\ or \TeX\ macros, e.g. \texttt{{\textbackslash}newcounter};
+\end{itemize}
+
+The counter is extensively used in enumeration lists. The following macros will help you for managing the enumeration counter:
+\begin{itemize}
 \item \texttt{{\textbackslash}setenumcounter\{value\}} \\
-	force the value of the enumeration counter;
+	force the value of the counter used by the enumeration environments;
 \item \texttt{{\textbackslash}getenumcounter} \\
-	replies the value of the enumeration counter;
+	replies the value of the counter used by the enumeration environments;
 \item \texttt{{\textbackslash}saveenumcounter} \\
-	save the enumeration counter;
+	save the value of the counter used by the enumeration environment with \texttt{{\textbackslash}savecounter};
 \item \texttt{{\textbackslash}restoreenumcounter} \\
-	force the enumeration to use the saved counter's value;
+	restore the value of the counter used by the enumeration environment with \texttt{{\textbackslash}restorecounter}.
 \end{itemize}
 
+\paragraph{Example:} The following \LaTeX~code produces the result below:
+\begin{verbatim}
+This is a text: \begin{enumerate}
+        \item This is an item. 
+        \item This is another item. 
+        \saveenumcounter
+\end{enumerate}
+This is a text in the between.
+\begin{enumerate}

+\end{enumerate}
+This is a second text in the between.
+\begin{enumerate}
+        \setenumcounter{18}

 \subsection{Inline Enumeration}
 
 In several document, an enumeration of things is written inside a paragraph instead of inside a list of points.
