But that solution assumes that we know the old formatting of \theenumi. The following solution is better as I doesn't assume that:
\let\oldtheenumi\theenumi \newcounter{cntr} \setcounter{cntr}{1} \renewcommand{\theenumi}{\setcounter{enumi}{\value{cntr}}\oldtheenumi\addtocounter{cntr}{1}} (sections and enumerations) \let\theenumi\oldtheenumi On Sun, 17 Aug 2003, Henrik Edlund wrote: HE> For the record, how I solved it with two ERTs: HE> HE> \let\oldtheenumi\theenumi HE> \newcounter{cntr} HE> \setcounter{cntr}{1} HE> \renewcommand{\theenumi}{\arabic{cntr}\addtocounter{cntr}{1}} HE> HE> (A couple of enumerations in different sections in LyX) HE> HE> \let\theenumi\oldtheenumi
