How to change formatting of {description} environment

Post by vito »

How can I change the formatting of description environment?

In particular, I want labels before each item to be decorated with quotes. Please, help.

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

I think I found it:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand*\descriptionlabel[1]{``#1''}

The enumitem package would make customization much easier.
