+<h3>Running equation, figure and table numbering</h3>
+<p/>Many LaTeX classes (including the standard <i>book</i> class)
+number things per chapter; so figures in chapter 1 are numbered 1.1,
+1.2, and so on. Sometimes this is not appropriate for the user&rsquo;s
+needs.
+<p/>Short of rewriting the whole class, one may use the <i>chngctr</i>
+package, which provides commands <code>\</code><code>counterwithin</code> (which
+establishes this nested numbering relationship) and
+<code>\</code><code>counterwithout</code> (which undoes it).
+<p/>So if you have figures numbered by chapter as 1.1, 1.2, 2.1, ...,
+the command
+<blockquote>
+<pre>
+\counterwithout{figure}{chapter}
+</pre>
+</blockquote><p>
+will convert them to figures 1, 2, 3, .... (Note that the command
+has also removed the chapter number from the counter&rsquo;s definition.)
+<p/>More elaborate use could change things numbered per section to things
+numbered per chapter:
+<blockquote>
+<pre>
+\counterwithout{equation}{section}
+\counterwithin{equation}{chapter}
+</pre>
+</blockquote><p>
+(assuming there was a class that did such a thing in the first place...)
+<p/>The <i>chngcntr</i> approach doesn&rsquo;t involve much programming, and
+the enthusiastic LaTeX programmer might choose to try the technique
+that we had to use before the advent of <i>chngcntr</i>. Each of
+the packages <i>removefr</i> and <i>remreset</i> defines a
+<code>\</code><code>@removefromreset</code> command, and having included the package one
+writes something like:
+<blockquote>
+<pre>
+\makeatletter
+\@removefromreset{figure}{chapter}
+\makeatother
+</pre>
+</blockquote><p>
+and the automatic renumbering stops. You may then need to redefine the
+way in which the figure number (in this case) is printed:
+<blockquote>
+<pre>
+\makeatletter
+\renewcommand{\thefigure}{\@arabic\c@figure}
+\makeatother
+</pre>
+</blockquote><p>
+(remember to do the whole job, for every counter you want to
+manipulate, within <code>\</code><code>makeatletter</code> ... <code>\</code><code>makeatother</code>).
+<p/>This technique, too, may be used to change where in a multilevel
+structure a counter is reset. Suppose your class numbers figures as
+&lt;<i>chapter</i>&gt;.&lt;<i>section</i>&gt;.&lt;<i>figure</i>&gt;, and you want figures
+numbered per chapter, try:
+<blockquote>
+<pre>
+\makeatletter
+\@removefromreset{figure}{section}
+\@addtoreset{figure}{chapter}
+\renewcommand{\thefigure}{\thechapter.\@arabic\c@figure}
+\makeatother
+</pre>
+
+</blockquote><p>
+(the command <code>\</code><code>@addtoreset</code> is a part of LaTeX itself).
