Last Head Number

To access the last head number in a document one can use:

\somestructureheadnumber[…][…]

The following example from the mailing list demonstrates how to use it.

\dorecurse {5} {
  \chapter{Test #1}
  first:   \somestructureheadnumber[chapter][first]   \par
  current: \somestructureheadnumber[chapter][current] \par
  last:    \somestructureheadnumber[chapter][last]
  \dorecurse {3} {
    \section{Test #1}
    first:   \somestructureheadnumber[section][first]   \par
    current: \somestructureheadnumber[section][current] \par
    last:    \somestructureheadnumber[section][last]
  }
}

For using inside a Metapost-environment you can use the expandable version:

\somenamedheadnumber{…}{…}
