The CSS 2.1 spec makes inserting counters into content possible. This has always been possible with ordered lists, but this counter system is much more robust allowing you to insert counters on any type of page element, set up incrementation rules, resetting rules, and more. The Opera Dev Blog has a nice article on how to do it. Works in current versions of all the major good browsers, and is slated to work in IE 8.
