Page Layout ⇒ Paragraph numbering

[ankscorek]

Hi friends

I am using Kile and i need to use a customised para number

for that i am doing

Code: Select all

\renewcommand\theparagraph{\arabic{paragraph}}

The output is

1 someparagraph starts
2 Another paragraph starts

However i want the ouput like

1. somepara starts
2. another para starts

Please note that the arabic numbers used for numbering the paragraphs are not in bold and it is followed by a "dot."

Incase i want to use a sub para then what should i do

1. This is the main para starting
(a) Sub para starting.....

The sub para numbering (a) to start from below T of the word "This."
i tried enumerate..but the problem is that it has to come like a para. In enum the new line does not begin from below the number as in it does in a paragraph.

Please help!

For your purpose the enumerate environment seems to be the better solution.

The enumerate enviornment is ok but the alignment of the lines in it is a bit problematic

however i want the alignment to be

1. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

i already mentioned it in my post..

please any suggestions to change the enum enviornment to a para style

I just forgot to mention the enumitem package.

Hey Thanks for the enumitem package but it is giving me "enumerate like paragraphs."

i want the enumerate items to be like paragraph

1. This is a paragraph style
which starts from underneath
"1."

It can't do any harm to read the package manual.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,english]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\begin{document}
  \begin{enumerate}[fullwidth]
    \item \blindtext
    \begin{enumerate}[fullwidth]
      \item \blindtext
    \end{enumerate}
    \item \blindtext
    \item \blindtext
  \end{enumerate}
\end{document}

Oh My God

Ghost thanks for the help

I was in the midst of reading the package manual when your brilliance helped me out.

Thanks it surely does work

and i hope the nested enviornment will also work

Code: Select all

\begin{center}
 \textbf{\underline{INTRODUCTION}}
\end{center} \vspace{0.2in}

Will this also fit in the enumerate enviornment...means i dont want to add this as an \item in the enum enviornment

I don't understand what you mean. It might help if you describe what you are aiming at.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,english]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\begin{document}
  \begin{center}
    \textbf{\underline{INTRODUCTION}}
  \end{center}

  \bigskip
  \begin{enumerate}[fullwidth]
    \item \blindtext
    \begin{enumerate}[fullwidth]
      \item \blindtext
    \end{enumerate}
    \item \blindtext
    \item \blindtext
  \end{enumerate}
\end{document}

Ok here it is ..

in ur above quote the sub-para 1 (a) should be

Code: Select all

\begin{enumerate}[label=(\alph*),labelindent=\parindent,leftmargin=*]

The problem is that this sub para is not coming in this format

1. xxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
(a) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxx.

then new line should start below (a) however even if i add fullwidth the problema remains same.

Code: Select all

\item \ \ \ \textbf{\underline{Architecture.}} \ \ \ The salient aspects of the architecture are as mentioned below :-
%\begin{enumerate}[fullwidth]
  
 
\begin{enumerate}[label=(\alph*),labelindent=\parindent,leftmargin=*]
 \item Device Driver on the host.
\item Calibration, Applications and Monitoring tools are provided.ankush ankush ankush ankush 
                                                                                                             
\item Baseband software contains:-\begin{enumerate}[label=(\roman*),fullwidth]
                                   \item Scheduler.
                                   \item Medium Access Controller and Physical, Radio Frequency Driver and Host Interface.
                                  \end{enumerate}

\end{enumerate}

In this code roman sub sub para is the way i want it to happen.However alpha sub para is not coming proper

[ankscorek]

ok here is exactly what i have been looking for

\end{enumerate}



\end{enumerate}

This seems to do the job for me...only one small hitch with the roman numerals ie with (i)(ii)...

if u notice the )and ) of (i)and(ii) are in a straight line...whereas i need (and( of (i)and(ii) in a a straight line

Can someone help me with the alignment please
