How to count with chapter

How to count with chapter

[Wolfgang Werners-Lucchini]

Hallo,

is this a bug too?
-----------------------------------
%\chapter{Bla}
\definenumber[PC]\getnumber[PC]
\setnumber[PC]{1}\getnumber[PC]
\incrementnumber[PC]\getnumber[PC]
\incrementnumber[PC]\getnumber[PC]
-----------------------------------
Without \chapter I get: 0 1 2 3
With \chapter: 0 1 1 2

Wolfgang

by default counters are reset per chapter and incrementnumber does the 
check

Hmm. But isn't it wrong to reset a counter who doesn't even exist 
with chapter start? Why not do the same check with setnumber?

well, that's the way it is designed and it has been so for many years

you can also use:

\newcounter\MyCounter
\increment\MyCounter

show: \MyCounter
