Text Formatting ⇒ Simple Removal of Period from Enumerated List

[surrix]

Hey all,

I'm using the following code to add brackets in an enumerated list:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\theenumi}{[\arabic{enumi}]}

The result is this:

[1]. Stuff
[2]. Stuff

Is there a simple way to remove the periods ideally (but not necessarily) without resorting to additional packages? I want this:

[1] Stuff
[2] Stuff

Thanks

Why don't you want to load additional packages?

With enumitem loaded, it's this:

Code: Select all

\begin{enumerate}[label={[\arabic*]}]
\item One
\item Two
\end{enumerate}

If you don't want to load enumitem, probably you'd need to say what document class you were using -- and it wouldn't be "simple".

That actually works great. Better than I was expecting. Thanks.

The approach without any package is very similar to yours.

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\labelenumi}{[\arabic{enumi}]}

That works, but usually you define \labelenumi in terms of \theenumi:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand*{\labelenumi}{\theenumi}
