 One powerful feature of \SpecialChar LaTeX
  is its ability to manage counters.
  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.

+Note that the section counter, e.g., starts with its value at zero and then
+ is incremented to one when the first section is created.
+ So, if you want the next section to be section five, say, then you need
+ to set the section counter to four.

  These effects can also be limited to LyX itself.
  And they will appear in HTML and DocBook output, as well as in LaTeX.
