Interesting idea. Thinking further, this 'lists of interdependent numbered paragraph' is basically a tree (or rather, a 'forest'), and one does not even need to change any paragraph in 'updateCounters', the couter value could be extracted on-the-fly at metrics() time from this tree. This would be almost a no-cost solution. Andre'
