I want to write a reference with the bullet numbering of the form: [] For example,   [] Drucke, D., 1992, Reflection Properties of Curves and Surfaces, Mathematics Magazine, v.65, p.147.  is a reference in my paper. I am currently using the following code:   \begin{enumerate} \item Drucke, D., 1992, Reflection Properties of Curves and Surfaces, Mathematics Magazine, v.65, p.147.  \end{enumerate}   As a consequence, I am getting the following output:    Drucke, D., 1992, Reflection Properties of Curves and Surfaces, Mathematics Magazine, v.65, p.147.   Is it possible to achieve  instead of 1. in a list?   Update 1 The code snippet seems to works partially:   \begin{enumerate} \item [[ 1]] Drucke, D., 1992, Reflection Properties of Curves and Surfaces, Mathematics Magazine, v.65, p.147. \end{document}   Output:   Any improvements, will be extremely helpful...

I want to make an enumerated list in the following format:  [1] foo foo [2] foo foo ...    How I can do that using enumerated lists? I have tried the following:  \begin{enumerate}[\left[ 1 \right]]   but it does not work.

How to make enumerate list format numbers like this:     REG/001 (content)      REG/002 (content)      REG/003 (content)   I already managed to do the following:   \begin{enumerate}[label=\textbf{REG/\arabic*},leftmargin=*] \item content \end{enumerate}   using   \usepackage{enumitem}   but I don't know how to add leading zeros.

In Python, I can do:  &gt;&gt;&gt; list = ['a', 'b', 'c'] &gt;&gt;&gt; ', '.join(list) 'a, b, c'   Is there any easy way to do the same when I have a list of objects?  &gt;&gt;&gt; class Obj: ...     def __str__(self): ...         return 'name' ... &gt;&gt;&gt; list = [Obj(), Obj(), Obj()] &gt;&gt;&gt; ', '.join(list) Traceback (most recent call last):   File "&lt;stdin&gt;", line 1, in &lt;module&gt; TypeError: sequence item 0: expected string, instance found   Or do I have to resort to a for loop?

Every now and then I use the description list environment  \begin{description} \item[foo]  foo is good \item[bar]  bar is bad \end{description}   to create lists with non-numerical labels. Unfortunately the description list does not support the label-reference pair as normal latex: i.e. if I write  \begin{description} \item[foo] \label{foo} foo is good .... \end{description} .... For good things (see, for example \ref{foo})...    the reference does not point to the item in the list. Instead it points to the closest environment that supports labeling (usually the subsection). So instead of showing the text foo (in boldface), it shows something like 2.2.1 (the subsection corresponding to where the description environment is sitting).  My question: is there a way or a package which allows references to description list items? My current work-around is to just type the text myself in the spot (since I named it myself, and it is not numbered, the formatting is unlikely to change the label =). But one of the good things about the label/reference pairs in latex is the implementation in pdflatex that allows in PDF hyperlinks between references and the objects referred to, this I cannot replicate myself.   Edit: let me rephrase my question. The primary goal is not to display \ref to something other than what LaTeX thinks the \label is. There are many ways to deal with it, some of which outlined in Michael Underwood's helpful answer below. What I am looking at is whether there exists an implementation of a list environment which is like the built-in description environment in that the displayed "title" for the list item is completely customized, while having support for \labels. (The built-in description environment does not support \labels, whereas the built-in enumerate environment does not support customized "title"s.) The enumitem package adds some customizability to the environments, but as far as I can tell it doesn't support exactly what I want.

I have an enumerate inside an enumerate:  \documentclass{beamer} \usetheme{Boadilla} \begin{document} \begin{enumerate}    \item Item1    \item Item2    \begin{enumerate}       \item Item2.    \end{enumerate} \end{enumerate} \end{document}   The problem is the bullets of the inner enumerate and the outer enumerate are in same style (a ball in green), does anyone know if there are other styles of bullets available?

When using itemize list, I would like to include text which is not part of the bullet points. Is it possible not to indent it the way items are indented?  \begin{itemize} \item One Subsequently, we only want to count the cases... \item Two The subsequent order of the other neighbors... \item Three \end{itemize}

Sometimes, I want to have enumerate lists in LaTeX start at other than the first value (1, a, i, etc.) How can I make an enumerate list start at an arbitrary value?

In an enumerate environment, I want a few (not all) of the items to have asterisks which appear before the number (I don't feel strongly about whether the number or the asterisk is horizontally aligned with the other numbers).  Is there a less crufty way to do this than, say, using multiple lists (or &mdash; horrors &mdash; numbering manually)?  I'm already using enumitem for an unrelated purpose, if that helps, although I didn't find a solution after a quick skim of its manual.

How can I make a list as shown in the picture?    I want to have a similar list of abbreviations/notions where everything is lined up as shown in the picture. I have tried to use the glossaries package, but that didn't give me the dots inbetween.  I have also tried to use \begin{description}, but then I had to manually enter the dots.  Can someone help me with this?

\documentclass[12pt]{article}  \usepackage{amsmath,amsthm,amssymb,amsfonts} \usepackage{enumerate}  \newenvironment*{exercise}{}  \newcommand{\R}{\mathbb{R}}  \begin{document}  \begin{exercise}{1.10.} Show that $B=\{[a,b)\subset\R|a&lt;b\}$ is a basis for a topology on $\R$.\\ \begin{enumerate} \item{stuff...} \item{stuff...} \end{enumerate} \end{exercise}  \end{document}   My main concern is that the list numbers in the list and the text in the instructions line up. That is that the S in show is lined up with the 1 and 2 etc in the list.

I have an enumerate list in this MWE.  \documentclass[]{beamer} \usetheme{Madrid} \setbeamertemplate{items}[circle]  \begin{document}  \begin{frame} \frametitle{Example} \begin{enumerate} \item First one \item Second one \item Third one \end{enumerate} In the above list, 2 and 3 are what more important. \end{frame}  \end{document}   I want "2" and "3" in the text to be the same as in the list, a blue solid circle with white numbers.  How do I do that? Thank you.

This question is somewhat of a follow up to an answer to a previous question ().  I would like to create a list environment (similar to itemize and enumerate) such that the output of the list environment is a comma-separated list.  For example, the following input:  \begin{commalist}     \item Item A     \item Item B     \item Item C \end{commalist}   Should produce the following output:  Item A, Item B and Item C.   Additionally, it would be nice to be able to specify the use of a comma instead of the final and (so that the output is instead Item A, Item B, Item C..

On  we expect answers to include a full list of references on which the answer was based at the bottom of the question. There are a few ways in which to format this list and we haven't decided on a preferred format yet.  One of the ideas is to wrap the list of references in &lt;sub&gt; tags as it .  This looks as follows:   Neher, A. (1991). Maslow's theory of motivation: A critique. Journal of Humanistic Psycholgoy, 31, 3.  Mahmoud A. Wahba, Lawrence G. Bridwell,  (1976),   In order to place the second reference on a new line, two spaces need to be added at the end of the first reference. Using (the more logical) return breaks markdown! Adding a first return only adds a space. Everything after a second return isn't subscript anymore.   Neher, A. (1991). Maslow's theory of motivation: A critique. Journal of Humanistic Psycholgoy, 31, 3.   Mahmoud A. Wahba, Lawrence G. Bridwell,  (1976),   Is this a bug?

The following is produced by beamer version 3.41 with enumerate:  \documentclass{beamer} \mode&lt;presentation&gt;     {\usetheme{Rochester}} \begin{document} \begin{frame}   \begin{enumerate}[(a)]     \item Foo     \item Bar   \end{enumerate}   \begin{enumerate}[1]     \item Foo     \item Bar   \end{enumerate} \end{frame} \end{document}     And with beamer version 3.42 the following:    The latter output is so, well, ugly, that it's probably a bug. While waiting for a bug fix (?), how can I temporarily fix this so that I get the output produced by beamer 3.41?

Is there a guide out there on how to customize the enumerate and itemize instances in my code?  (I'm using the Memoir class in LaTeX for Windows, and I have the enumitem package included.)  I want to mess with the margins and spacings to make my lists look a little less "LaTeX-default"...

I have a paper where all equations are numbered, but I want to number equations only if they are actually referred to in the .tex file using \ref{}. How can I make that happen? Alternatively, how can I make all equations that have no \label next to them (because then I know I don't refer to them) not have a number? Do I have to use \nonumber separately for each such equation?
