Customise bullet points

Post by ptrcao »

Instead of enumerate giving

1. Content 1
2. Content 2
3. Content 3

I want


Ans 1. Content 1
Ans 2. Content 2
Ans 3. Content 3

What is the cleanest way to achieve this?

Second I want completely arbitrary, text in my bullets such as

Ans 2b. Content 1
Ans 3q. Content 2
Ans 12c. Content 3

How can this be achieved?

TY!

Customise bullet points

For the first one (and actually the second one too) I suggest you to take a look at the enumitem package.

The second one can also be done with

Code: Select all

\begin{itemize}
\item[Ans 2b.] Content 1
\item[Ans 3q.] Content 2
\item[Ans 12c.] Content 3
\end{itemize}
