=begin Display the multiplication tables

My first computer program, written in Sept 1978, did the same
thing. I did not know about iteration using for or while and
so it was implemented using if and goto :-(. This was on an
ICL mainframe using MAXIMOP BASIC.

As you can see computer science, and I, have moved on since.

Adding Section Numbers to markdown

Note: Information adapted from https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/280532/m4-macro-implementation-of-global-non-volatile-counter

Markdown does not support auto numbering of sections :-(. However with some M4 magic and some minor changes to your markdown text you can add this handy feature.

The techinique uses the M4 macro processor maintain an auto incrmenting counter and add the correct section numbers to your markdown text.
