Dear All,
For an open source software project based on standard textbooks, I would
like to modify how the counters are created in LaTeX.
Normally, counters have numbers. These are incremented automatically.
One can increase or decrease these numbers at will.
What I want to do is to assign a string to the counter, inside the
environment that I defined. In other words, I want to assign an
arbitrary string to the counter inside the environment. The value
assigned should be remembered and be available for cross referencing, in
the table of contents of that environment, etc. Actually, the word
counter is a misnomer here - I do not want it count anything - just to
accept the value that I assign.
Thanks.
Kannan
