Before a counter can be used, it must be created with the macro
NEWCOUNTER
. This macro expects one parameter list: the name of the
counter. The initial value of the counter is set to zero.
As for an example, let's say that our macro package should provide two
sectioning commands: section
and subsection
. The sections should be
numbered 1, 2, etc., and the subsections 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 etc.. Hence we'd need
two counters:
NEWCOUNTER(sectcounter) NEWCOUNTER(subsectcounter)
