# How to globally resume enumerate counter but restart per chapter?

I try to have enumerate resume its numbering but restart with each chapter. I have found a way to restart the counter here:

https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/348942

However, the solution does not resume the counter when certain environments are involved, like a proof.

Here is what I have so far (but it does not resume the counter after the proof):

\documentclass{book}

\usepackage{enumitem}
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\usepackage{amsthm}

% include the chapter number
\setlist[enumerate]{label=\thechapter.\arabic{*},resume}

% restart the enumerate list every chapter
\preto\chapter{%
\restartlist{enumerate}%
}

\begin{document}

\chapter{one}

\begin{enumerate}
\item first
\item second
\end{enumerate}
more
\begin{proof}
\begin{enumerate}
\item third
\item fourth
\end{enumerate}
\end{proof}
more
\begin{enumerate}
\item fifth
\item sixth
\end{enumerate}

\chapter{two}
\begin{enumerate}
\item first
\item second
\end{enumerate}
more
\begin{enumerate}
\item third
\item fourth
\end{enumerate}

\end{document}

• So, do you want a separate "proof" enumerate counter or do you wish to reset the enumerate counter at the beginning of a proof environment? – nox Oct 11 '18 at 10:25
• @nox Oh, I see now that I have formulated it incorrectly. I want the counter just to resume with 1.5 after the proof – Daniel Oct 11 '18 at 10:44

Looks like enumitem saves the resuming data (counter etc.) locally, and LaTeX forgets about these saved data after the current group ends. You could patch the \enit@setresumekeys command and replace \def by \gdef in it. Since there are two \def entries, I had to use the \patchcmd twice (it is defined in etoolbox like \preto. The changed code:

\documentclass{book}

\usepackage{enumitem}
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\usepackage{amsthm}

% include the chapter number
\setlist[enumerate]{label=\thechapter.\arabic{*},resume}

% restart the enumerate list every chapter
\preto\chapter{%
\restartlist{enumerate}%
}

\makeatletter
\patchcmd{\enit@setresumekeys}{\def}{\gdef}{}{}
\patchcmd{\enit@setresumekeys}{\def}{\gdef}{}{}
\makeatother

\begin{document}
\chapter{one}

\begin{enumerate}
\item first
\item second
\end{enumerate}
more
\begin{proof}
\begin{enumerate}
\item third
\item fourth
\end{enumerate}
\end{proof}
more
\begin{enumerate}
\item fifth
\item sixth
\end{enumerate}

\chapter{two}
\begin{enumerate}
\item first
\item second
\end{enumerate}
more
\begin{enumerate}
\item third
\item fourth
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}
