An example is attached. In the actual text, I put the exercises in boxes to get a shaded background, but the only issue right now is numbering. In my prototype, labs are numbered continuously throughout the book (Lab 1 rather than Lab 1.1); it would also be ok if they were numbered within chapters. > > > > Personally, I'd have a different numbering system for lab sections, so > > > instead of environment Section *, I'd have an environment Lab > > > that has its own counter, and an environment Labproblem that acts > > > the same way as the Problem environment you currently use in > > > environment Section except is prints and increments the counter for > > > Lab. > > > > > > By the way, you did the right thing making your own Problem > > > environment instead of using Subsection. > > > > > > > Thanks, but I actually didn't.
