# list of counted objects [duplicate]

I have been using the following commands in my preamble.

\usepackage{amsthm}
\theoremstyle{definition}
\newtheorem{exmp}{Example}[section]

\newcounter{Examplecounter}
\newenvironment{MathematicalBackground}{%
\begin{quote}%
\refstepcounter{Examplecounter}%
\textbf{Mathematical Background \arabic{Examplecounter}}%
}{%
\end{quote}%
}


Then in the text I am using the following.

\begin{mdframed}[backgroundcolor=brown!20]
\begin{MathematicalBackground}
...
\end{MathematicalBackground}
\end{mdframed}


I also have a different type of region in the text defined by,

\begin{exmp}
\begin{mdframed}[backgroundcolor=blue!20]
...
\end{mdframed}
\end{exmp}


With figures and tables we can create lists at the front of the document by using \listof... commands. How can I get a list of these two environments at the front of the document? I am aware of this TEX post but still can not define my lists.

Edit


\usepackage{thmtools}
\renewcommand{\listoftheoremname}{MathematicalBackground}



Then entered the following at the start of the text.


\listoftheorems[ignoreall,show={MathematicalBackground}]


I also tried swapping MathematicalBackground for expm. All wouldn't parse, so I am definitely doing something very wrong here.

• Although a duplicate question I still can not manage to generate a list of both environments from the information in the linked question. – AngusTheMan Jul 27 '15 at 13:41
• In that case it would greatly help us if you showed what you tried and explained what in the link did not work as expected. A full MWE would then greatly improve our chances of understanding your problem. – moewe Jul 27 '15 at 14:17
