I am new to Lyx and have no LaTeX experience. I am writing a sequence
of Python tutorials in a book document. I tried switching from default
book to AMS book because it supports numbered exercises and examples,
however in the AMS system, each exercise appears to generate a new
section number. I do not want exercises to alter the section
numbering. I would ideally like exercises to either be numbered
sequentually throughout the whole tutorial, or probably better, start
again from 1 in each chapter or maybe section. Something viewable
easily in LyX would be good, though I am willing to handle my first ERT's.
Help appreciated.
Thanks,

If you put the following in the document preamble, exercises should be
numbered within sections (but I think with the section number included):
\newtheorem{xcc}{Exercise}[section]
\renewcommand{\xca}{\xcc}
/Paul
