Continuous v. per-chapter/section numbering of figures, tables, and other document elements

When I insert an equation in whatever environment I like in my scrrprt document I get a numbering like (1.1). But I have very few numbered equations in my document so I'd like to get a numbering like (1). How do I change this?

Use the chngcntr package.

\documentclass{scrreprt}
\usepackage{chngcntr}
\counterwithout{equation}{chapter}
\begin{document}
\chapter{a chapter}
\begin{equation}
a = b
\end{equation}
\chapter{another chapter}
\begin{equation}
a = b
\end{equation}
\end{document}

    But this resets the counter with every chapter and this is not desirable. – Gonzalo Medina Apr 24 '12 at 15:15
  • @GonzaloMedina --- indeed. I should have checked more carefully! I've fixed it now. – Ian Thompson Apr 24 '12 at 15:21

    @IanThompson: While this answers the question, there's already a very detailed answer at the duplicate question that's been linked to. In general, it's preferable to vote to close in a case like this, instead of duplicating information. That will make it easier to keep information up to date. – Jake Apr 24 '12 at 15:25
  • @Jake --- I'm aware of that, but I didn't see the comment pointing to the duplicate. I was in the process of editing my answer. – Ian Thompson Apr 24 '12 at 15:28
