One powerful feature of \SpecialChar LaTeX
is its ability to manage counters, like the one
for this section (
\change_unchanged
\begin_inset CommandInset counter
LatexCommand value
counter "subsection"
counter "section"
value "0"
vtype "arabic"
lyxonly "false"
\end_inset
), automatically.

).
Mostly, this is handled automatically, but there are times one wants to
modify counters directly.
This can be done in LyX using the counter inset, which is accessible from
the Insert menu.
This allows one to set a counter's value; to reset it (to zero); to add
to the value (or subtract from it, since the value added can be negative);
to save it; to restore the saved value; and to print the value.
These effects can also be limited to LyX itself.
And they will appear in HTML and DocBook output, as well as in LaTeX.
