Question on use of "enumerate"
I wonder if anybody here knows how to create a list labeled by (1), (2), (3) ...
I tried
\begin{enumerate}[{(1)}]
\item
\item
\end{enumerate}
and it doesn't work for me.
If I use
\begin{enumerate}
\item
\item
\end{enumerate}
It only produces lists like, 1, 2, 3,...
Thanks,
George

Question on use of "enumerate"
Use the enumitem package.
Code: Select all
Code, edit and compile here:
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}\usepackage[shortlabels]{enumitem}\begin{document}\begin{enumerate}[(1)]\item One\item Two\item Three\end{enumerate}\end{document}

Question on use of "enumerate"
Hi George,
with enumitem you can set this enumeration style globally:
I prefer \setenumerate because it sets the style in the preamble for the whole document instead of doing it several times in the document like \begin{enumerate}[(1)]. Specifying the style in the preamble is consistent and changes would be easy.

You could also put in the preamble and every enumeration item on the first leve lwould be with a ")". Maybe you could use that to include a "(".
Code: Select all
Code, edit and compile here:
%enumeration FIRST level with right parentheses\renewcommand{\theenumi}{\arabic{enumi}}\renewcommand{\labelenumi}{\theenumi{)}}

Question on use of "enumerate"
Arabic is the default, so redefining \labelenumi would be sufficient then:
Stefan
Code: Select all
\renewcommand{\labelenumi}{(\theenumi)}
