Text Formatting ⇒ enumerate | Numbering of Sub-Items

[PerUlven]

I'm trying to make a list that looks something like this:

Section 1
1.1 Text
1.2 Text

Section 2
2.1 Text
2.2 Text
2.3 Text

The "section" parts I get, but I can't seem to get my numbering looking good using enumerate. I've tried using \subitem, and nesting enumerate, but it won't look right. These are my attemps so far:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{enumerate}

\begin{document}

\section*{Task 1}
\begin{enumerate}[1.]
\item
\begin{enumerate}[1]
\item
\end{enumerate}
\end{enumerate}

\section*{Task 2}
\begin{enumerate}[1]
\item \subitem Text
\end{enumerate}

\end{document}

I guess I could just number each part manually, but I would rather use Latex like I'm supposed to!

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{enumerate}

\begin{document}

\section*{Task 1}
\begin{enumerate}[{1.}1]
\item Text
\item Text
\end{enumerate}

\section*{Task 2}
\begin{enumerate}[{2.}1]
\item Text
\item Text
\end{enumerate}

\end{document}

Thanks a lot! And from a fellow Norwegian as well!

An alternative could be to use the more sophisticated enumitem package.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{enumitem}

\newlist{secenum}{enumerate}{10}
\setlist[secenum]{label=\thesection.\arabic*,leftmargin=*}

\begin{document}
  \section{Foo}\label{sec:foo}
    \begin{secenum}
      \item First
      \item Second 
    \end{secenum}

  \section{Bar}\label{sec:bar}
    \begin{secenum}
      \item First
      \item Second 
    \end{secenum} 
\end{document}

For details refer to the package manual. Assumed that the package is installed, you have instant access on the command line.

Code: Select all

texdoc enumitem
