Text Formatting ⇒ special enumeration

[aleph]

Hi! I need to make a list of problems in latex and because I might need later to move some problems up or down, it should be automatically numbered. I know about enumerate, but I also want to add to the number of problem some stars signifying the level of difficulty. For example my list could be "1.*, 2.**, 3.*, 4.***, ...". Is it possible to do this?

Thanks.

Hi,

you could try something along these lines:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{enumitem}

\newcommand\Easy{\stepcounter{enumi}\item[\theenumi.*]}
\newcommand\Hard{\stepcounter{enumi}\item[\theenumi.**]}
\newcommand\RHard{\stepcounter{enumi}\item[\theenumi.***]}

\begin{document}

\begin{enumerate}[align=left,leftmargin=*,widest=10***]
 \Easy $a=b$.
 \Hard $a=b$.
 \RHard $a=b$.
 \Easy $a=b$.
\end{enumerate}

\end{document}

Thank you so much!
