customize type of numbering in an Enumerate list

Post by assafwe »

Hi,

I would like to create an Enumerated environment (list), but instead of having numbers followed by a period, I want to have them inside brackets: "(1)" in place of "1.". How do I custom set the Enumerate environment?..

Thanks

Assaf

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

Search the forum for the enumitem package. Next time do the search first. The forum archive has many answers to those typical requests.

Hi,

I looked it up, but couldn't make it work myself..
Do I need to first download the Enumitem package? (sorry for my ignorance..)

How would I know? Perhaps it is already present on your system. Check that on the command prompt.

Code: Select all

kpsewhich enumitem.sty
If the package is installed, you will obtain the full path inside the TeX directory tree.

But a similar answer has already been given to another request [1]. In principal the provided solution works here also with some modifications. But I don't know how to translate that to LyX. Things like package inclusion should be covered by the LyX documentation.
