+<p>
+ 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 <tt>\.</tt> Below is a list
+ of some of the counters used in LaTeX's standard document styles to control
+ numbering.

+<h2>Manipulating the way counters are printed</h2>
+Counters are printed in LaTeX by using a command generated as
+"<tt>\the</tt>" suffixed with the name of the counter. Thus, equation
+numbers are printed by the <tt>\theequation</tt> command, and
+section numbers by the <tt>\thesection</tt> command.
+If you want to change the way such numbers are printed, for example,
+change from arabic to Roman numerals, you need to redefine the
+appropriate command, using the
+<tt><a href="ltx-18.html">\renewcommand</a></tt> command.
+<p>
+As an example, to number equations in an appendix as <tt>A-1</tt>,
+<tt>A-2</tt>, ... , use <pre>
+ <tt>\renewcommand{\theequation}{A-<a href="ltx-201.html">\arabic</a>{equation}}</tt></pre>
+The second argument implies that the text produced by the renewed
+<tt>\theequation</tt> command will be "A-" followed by the output from
+the <tt>\arabic{equation}</tt> command, which is the value of the
+equation counter, printed as an arabic number.
+<p>
+In <a href="lists.html">List Environments</a> the format for the
+item labels is given by commands like <tt>\labelitemi</tt> and
+<tt>\labelitemii</tt> (for the first two levels of the
+<a href="ltx-250.html">Itemize Environment</a>), and like <tt>\labelenumi</tt>
+(for the <a href="ltx-222.html">Enumerate Environment</a>), and these may
+also be redefined.
+<p>
+There is an <a href="ltx-260.html#example">example</a> of manipulating such
+counters in the discussion of the List Environment.
+See also the discussions in the <a href="ltx-250.html">Itemize Environment</a>
+and in the <a href="ltx-222.html#example">Enumerate Environment</a>.
+<p>
+You can force a change in the number produced by any of the counters. For
+example, if you wanted to produce a single page numbered 13, you could use
+<pre>
+ <tt><a href="ltx-310.html">\setcounter</a>{page}{13}</tt></pre>
+A variety of commands for manipulating counters this way are given below.
