Everything LaTeX numbers for you has a counter associated with it. The
name of the counter is the same as the name of the environment or
command that produces the number, except with no \. (enumi -
enumiv are used for the nested enumerate environment.) Below is a list
of the counters used in LaTeX's standard document classes to control
numbering.
