 One powerful feature of \SpecialChar LaTeX
  is its ability to manage counters, like the one

+).
+ Mostly, this is handled automatically, but there are times one wants to
+ modify counters directly.
+ This can be done in LyX using the counter inset, which is accessible from
+ the Insert menu.
+ This allows one to set a counter's value; to reset it (to zero); to add
+ to the value (or subtract from it, since the value added can be negative);
+ to save it; to restore the saved value; and to print the value.
+ These effects can also be limited to LyX itself.
+ And they will appear in HTML and DocBook output, as well as in LaTeX.
