%This package implements the |etaremune| environment which is similar
%to the |enumerate| environment, except that labels are decreasing
%instead of increasing. This package provides an alternative to the
%\pf{revnum} package which uses a lot of counters. The style of lists
%can be controlled locally and globally.

%\section{Introduction}
%This package implements the |etaremune| environment which labels
%items with decreasing numbers, starting from the number of items
%in the environment. Since this number is not known at the start of
%the environment, we use a two step procedure. On the first \LaTeX\
%run, we determine the number of items in each |etaremune|
%environment and number the items in a default way and on the second
%run, we number all items correctly.
%
%The \pf{revnum} package \cite{revnum} already implements this
%environment. It provides the |revnumerate| environment which labels
%the items with decreasing numbers. This package has as main drawback
%that it consumes numerous counters. It uses 4 counters plus 1 for
%every |revnumerate| environment in the document. In big documents,
%this can cause problems. The package at hand uses only 2 counters,
%irrespective of the number of |etaremune| environments used in the
%document.
%
%I created the first version of the main code of this package to solve
%a question on the
%\TeX-NL mailing list. I figured that it might be a good idea to put
%my code in a small package on CTAN as an alternative for \pf{revnum}.
%
%\section{The \texttt{etaremune} environment}
%\DescribeEnv{etaremune}
%The |etaremune| environment works just as the |enumerate| environment
%and has the same control possibilities using macros like |\labelenumi|,
%|\theenumi| and |\@listi|. See for a detailed description of customizing
%|enumerate| and |etaremune| environments a \LaTeX\ manual, for instance
%\cite{companion}, pages 128--131 and 144--151.
%
%The |etaremune| environment is different from the |enumerate| environment
%in labeling the items. This environment labels items with decreasing
%numbers.
%\begin{command}
% `\cs{begin\char`\{etaremune\char`\}}\oarg{options}'
% `\meta{items}'
% `\cs{end\char`\{etaremune\char`\}}'
%\end{command}
%
%As \LaTeX\ cannot know at the beginning of the environment how many
%items it will have to typeset, this environment computes the
%starting point of the list in two \LaTeX\ runs, using the auxiliary
%file. On the first run, the number of items is counted and the items
%will be numbered with increasing numbers (as in the |enumerate|
%environment) and on the second run, the item labels will be set
%correctly. See an example below.
%
%\vspace*{.2cm}\noindent
%\begin{minipage}{.33\linewidth}
%\begin{etaremune}
%\item Not important.
%\item Quite relevant.
%\item Paramount.
%\end{etaremune}
%\end{minipage}
%\begin{minipage}{.666\linewidth}
%\begin{example}
% \begin{etaremune}
%  \item Not important.
%  \item Quite relevant.
%  \item Paramount.
% \end{etaremune}
%\end{example}
%\end{minipage}
%\vspace*{.2cm}
%
%The |etaremune| environment will avoid creating labels with negative
%numbers as this can cause problems when using alphabets for
%labels.\footnote{Positions -1, -2,\dots\ in an alphabet are not
%defined by the \LaTeX\ macro \cs{@alph} and friends.} So when
%adding items to an existing list, these will be numbered with 0 on
%the next run. Another \LaTeX\ run will settle the item labels again.
%
%The optional argument \meta{options} can be used to control the
%style of the environment (see below) and the starting point (if one
%wants to replace the starting point computed by \pf{etaremune}).
%
%\vspace*{.2cm}\noindent
%\begin{minipage}{.33\linewidth}
%\begin{etaremune}[start=5]
%\item First.
%\item Second.
%\item Third.
%\end{etaremune}

% \begin{etaremune}[start=5]
%  \item First.
%  \item Second.
%  \item Third.
% \end{etaremune}
%\end{example}
%\end{minipage}
%\vspace*{.2cm}
%
%The |etaremune| environment can be nested up to four levels deep,
%like the standard |enumerate| environment. The example below also
%shows an example of customizing item labels and referring to items.
%Notice that it takes three \LaTeX\ runs for references to items in
%the |etaremune| environment to settle.

%\DescribeOptions{topsep,partopsep,itemsep,parsep,leftmargin,rightmargin,%
%  listparindent,itemindent,labelwidth,labelsep}
%The \pf{etaremune} package allows for specifying some style
%parameters to control the markup of lists. These are the vertical
%lengths |\topsep|, |\partopsep|, |\itemsep| and |\parsep| and the
%horizontal lengths |\leftmargin|, |\rightmargin|, |\listparindent|,
%|\itemindent|, |\labelwidth| and |\labelsep|.\footnote{See for
%instance \cite{companion}, pages 144--151, for more information.}
%When set through the optional argument \meta{options}, these lengths
%are set locally (so holding only for the environment at hand).
%
%\vspace*{.2cm}\noindent
%\begin{minipage}{.33\linewidth}
%\begin{etaremune}[itemsep=0pt,parsep=0pt]
%\item third.
%\item second.

%One can also change the style of all |etaremune| environments
