 Hi,

Before I put this is in as an enhancement request, I wanted to make sure it doesn't already exist. I know you can define counters in a layout function. Is there a mechanism to specify, say when defining a section style, that certain counters get reset at the start of the section? If not, I'll put it in bugzilla.

The reason this came up is that the standard AMS document class restarts theorem numbering in each section, but the amsart.layout does not.

 Thanks,

Yes, this is possible, but I don't remember the details. Look in 
stdcounters.inc the Within keyword.

Thanks, Martin, it helped a lot.

I've put two zip archives on a web server, one for version 1.4.x (http://www.msu.edu/~rubin/amsmath14.zip) and the other for version 1.5.x (http://www.msu.edu/~rubin/amsmath15.zip). They contain tweaked copies of the various layout and include files for AMS articles. The 1.5 zip file also includes a small LyX document for testing them. The purpose of the changes was two-fold:

1. I added the Assumption and Assumption* environments, which AMS supports but the layouts previously did not.

2. I convinced the "standard" AMS layout to number theorem-like styles within sections (so that the first theorem of section 3 is 3.1, not 3.<previous number + 1>).

I don't *think* I broke anything, but then I never think I'm breaking anything.

If some kind developer would test these and then commit them if appropriate, I would be obliged. If you'd prefer diff files, that could probably be arranged. Sorry for the web links, but I tried posting this through GMANE with zip attachments, and <sigh>a server at Memphis U bounced it back to me</sigh>.

Thanks,
Paul
