Perhaps but if we want to support "enumerate" we can extend our counters and fix this also. Besides the original conversation was about getting counters displayed for figures etc. where there is no number yet (I don't have a problem with this at all BTW). So I extended the conversation to fixing counters that are displayed but displayed "wrong." > Actually we have the same thing in itemized lists.

Again I'm reminded that I should finish that code off -- add the remaining 36 bullets I picked out from wasysym and get the bullets displayed in the depth buttons. At the same time we should probably dump the use of the bmtable and just use an array of buttons with separate files for each bullet's image. That would also allow setting a button to be "in" as extra visual feedback of the selected bullet. If we got really really keen it would then be a simple matter to display the chosen bullet in the buffer. Although I'm not particularly concerned about this. > (BTW do I remember wrong or were there different representations in > older versions of LyX depending on env depth?

It's also a matter of _how_ do we support it. Extending the counters to display other numbering schemes should make supporting it very clean. And allow fixing the on-screen display of other counters as a bonus -- to look at the situation from a different perspective. Allan. (ARRae)
