Get value of a counter












2















Consider this code:



documentclass{report}

newcounter{counterA}

newcounter{counterB}

begin{document}

...

setcounter{counterA}{2}

setcounter{counterB}{3}

addtocounter{counterB}{counterA}

end{document}


When I compile I get the following error:



! Missing number, treated as zero.

<to be read again> 

                   c

l.8 addtocounter{counterB}{counterA}


How to add the value in counterA to counterB?

    In case that this is related to your page counter problem: due to the asynchronic page building of tex, the page counter is often not reliable in the text body.

You can access the value of a counter for arithmetic or other situations where LaTeX expects a number with value{<countername>}, so



addtocounter{counterB}{value{counterA}}


should be what you are looking for.



You would use the<countername> to print (a representation of) the value. 



thecounterB


Gives




5




in the example.



In rare situations or when you define the<countername> you may have to use



arabic{<countername>}

roman{<countername>}

Roman{<countername>}

alph{<countername>}

Alph{<countername>}


to force a particular printed representation.

            A CLEAN and SIMPLE way to add appendices to Table of Contents and bookmarks

            Image
            0 I found a lot of questions abount appendices and ToC. Many users want appendices to be grouped in an Appendix part, however some problems arise with ToC, hyperref, PDF viewer bookmarks, and so on. There are different solutions which require extra packages, command patching and other extra code, however none of them satisfies me. I almost found an easy way to accomplish a good result, where appendices are added to bookmarks in the right way and hyperref links point to the right page. However, the number of the "Appendix" part page is wrong (it's the number of appendix A). Is there any EASY way to fix that? This is a MWE: documentclass{book} usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind} usepackage{hyperref} begin{document} frontmatter tableofcontents mainmatter part{First} chapter{
