\stepcounter ¶Synopsis:
\stepcounter{counter}
Globally adds one to counter and resets all counters numbered
within it. (For the definition of counters numbered within,
see \newcounter: Allocating a counter.)
This command differs from \refstepcounter in that this one does
not influence references; that is, it does not define the current
\ref value to be the expansion of \thecounter
(see \refstepcounter).
