Document Classes ⇒ Question on use of "enumerate"

[georgevi]

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

Use the enumitem package.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[shortlabels]{enumitem}
\begin{document}
\begin{enumerate}[(1)]
  \item One
  \item Two
  \item Three
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}

Thank you so much! It works~

Hi George,

with enumitem you can set this enumeration style globally:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\setenumerate[1]{label=(\arabic*)}
\begin{document}
\begin{enumerate}
  \item One
  \item Two
  \item Three
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}

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

Code: Select all

%enumeration FIRST level with right parentheses
\renewcommand{\theenumi}{\arabic{enumi}}
\renewcommand{\labelenumi}{\theenumi{)}}

in the preamble and every enumeration item on the first leve lwould be with a ")". Maybe you could use that to include a "(".

Arabic is the default, so redefining \labelenumi would be sufficient then:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\labelenumi}{(\theenumi)}
