I want to define a new counter in LaTeX and as I understand The LaTeX
Companion page 446 it can be done with the command
\newcounter{mynecounter}
However the following file results in an error message when I run LaTeX:
\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}
\begin{document}
\newcounter{bepaling} {\arabic{bepaling}}
\bepaling
Ek skryf iets
\end{document} % End of document
And the error message:
ERROR: Undefined control sequence.
--- TeX said ---
l.7 \bepaling
--- HELP ---
TeX encountered an unknown command name. You probably misspelled the
name. If this message occurs when a LaTeX command is being processed,
the command is probably in the wrong place---for example, the error
can be produced by an \item command that's not inside a list-making
environment. The error can also be caused by a missing \documentstyle
command.
Can somebody help, please?
