There is a problem with the counter while using nested enumeration.
\documentclass{article}

\newcommand\itemone{\stepcounter{enumi}\item[$\ast$\, \theenumi.]}
\newcommand\itemtwo{\stepcounter{enumi}\item[$\ast\ast$\, \theenumi.]}
\newcommand\itemthree{\stepcounter{enumi}\item[$\ast\ast\ast ...

Thank you; that works.

Is it possible to modify this so that it works for various labelling styles?
For example, the current one fails when we try

Thanks a lot Clemens,
That works perfect. I have the option to remove the lecture titles as well ( with \section{}).

I am preparing some lecture plan/notes. I just want to put \section for each lecture and get that section titled as Lecture 1, Lecture 2 serially. ( Not 0.1 Lecture 1, 0.2 Lecture 2 , etc.) What would be a simple method to achieve this.
Thanks

I am using the beamer class to prepare a presentation.

\documentclass{beamer}

\pagestyle{plain}

\setbeamertemplate{footline}[frame number]

\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
This is frame 1
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}
This is frame 2 \\
\pause
This also is frame 2
\pause
\end{frame}%
\end ...

Thank you very much for the reply. It seems the problem is with the theoremref package.
\documentclass[12pt,twoside,a4paper]{report}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\usepackage{theoremref}
\newtheorem{theo}{Theorem}
\makeatletter
\renewenvironment{proof}[1][\proofname]{%
\par\pushQED{\qed ...

I am using the packages amsmath and amsthm for the document. I wanted the theorems and proofs (while using the environments thm , proof , etc) to be printed in the same bold font. I found a workaround at TeX.SX which suggested pasting the following to the preamble.
\makeatletter
\renewenvironment ...

Thanks for the reply. This clarifies it. I need not put [section] on lemma, prop, etc as I had already declared them to be [thm] and want to follow a common numbering scheme.

Thanks for the reply. I see that the [section] and [thm] arguments are mutually exclusive. But is there any way to achieve this ( common numbering for theorems and lemmas but with section number prepended)? Is it possible to do this via running sections as different files of a single project.
