<DIV>Hello all,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have set up a counter and environment (using XeLaTeX) as follows:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>\newcounter{examples}[chapter]</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>\newenvironment{examples}<BR> {\begin{list}%<BR> {\textsc{Example} \arabic{examples}.} %<BR> {\setlength{\labelsep}{10pt} %<BR> \setlength{\itemindent}{10pt} %<BR> \setlength{\leftmargin}{0pt} %<BR> \setlength{\labelwidth}{0pt} %<BR> \usecounter{examples}%<BR> } %<BR> } %<BR> {\end{list}}</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The idea is to let the examples counter run through each chapter and only reset at the next chapter. For some reason, it resets itself in environment changes (for example after enumerates, at each new section...).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What am I doing wrong?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>K</DIV>
