General ⇒ use a counter "a priori" (in advance)

[ChrisC.]

Hi all,


I would like to do have this result:
The main code proceed in N steps:
* step number 1
* ...
* step number n

with N = the counter of the enumeration *

But when i try with "counter", it doesn't understand that i want the next counter and not the previous one (whatever the type).
And when i try with "label", it doesn't understand that i don't want a link (hypertext / hyperref).

Do you have any idea ?
Thanks,
Chris.

currently my solution is:

The main code proceed in \ref{myCounter} steps:
\begin{enumerate}
\item step number 1
...
\item step number n
\label{myCounter}
\end{enumerate}

which works but gives me a red and clickable result that I don't really want

Do you want to remove the red or remove the clickable link? To make the ref's not links, use the starred version \ref*{MyCounter} and to remove the red boxes, use \hypersetup{pdfborder={0 0 0}} in your preamble after you include the hyperref package.

Hope that helps

Or just do not use the hyperref package.
