Text Formatting ⇒ Custom Labels in enumerated List

[Laurentius]

Is it possible to get the numbers in parentheses without writing them out explicitly?

Code: Select all

\begin{enumerate}
\baselineskip=12pt
\item [(1)] πρᾶξις is caused by virtue (or vice).
\item [(2)] πρᾶξις is possible without βούλευσις.
\item [(3)] Virtue (and vice) is ἕξις προαιρετική. (II.6)
\item [(4)] There can be no προαίρεσις without βούλευσις. (13^a2--5)
\item [(5)] There can be no virtue without βούλευσις. \{1,3,4\}
\item [(6)] 0 = 1. \{1,2,5\} 
\end{enumerate}

Yes, you can do it with \label and \ref.

[Laurentius]

Sorry, but I don't get it.

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Well, assumed you meant the numbers in parenthesis within the item texts, there I would use \ref.

However, I understand that you would like to change the enumerate labels to have parentheses. No problem:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{enumitem}
\setenumerate[1]{label=(\arabic*)}

Then just use \item.

Which ones? (1), (2),... labeling the items? If this were the case, load the enumitem package. Then write:

Code: Select all

\begin{enumerate}[label=(\arabic*),itemsep=5pt]
\item πρᾶξις is caused by virtue (or vice).
\item πρᾶξις is possible without βούλευσις.
\item Virtue (and vice) is ἕξις προαιρετική. (II.6)
\item There can be no προαίρεσις without βούλευσις. (13\^{}a2--5)
\item There can be no virtue without βούλευσις. \{1,3,4\}
\item 0 = 1. \{1,2,5\} 
\end{enumerate}

Edited: Stefan, you've been quicker. Anyway, the solution I provide is useful if one wants just to modify a particular enumerate environment, not all of them.

There is an easier way. You can simply put your first label between square bracket. The {enumerate} environment will do the rest for you

Code: Select all

\begin{enumerate}[(1)]
\item πρᾶξις is caused by virtue (or vice).
\item πρᾶξις is possible without βούλευσις.
\item Virtue (and vice) is ἕξις προαιρετική. (II.6)
\item There can be no προαίρεσις without βούλευσις. (13\^{}a2--5)
\item There can be no virtue without βούλευσις. \{1,3,4\}
\item 0 = 1. \{1,2,5\} 
\end{enumerate}

Well, not really... unless you load enumitem with the shortlabels option.

I use the enumerate package. The following code give an answer to the question.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt]{article}

\usepackage{enumerate}

\begin{document}

\begin{enumerate}[(1)]
	\item Item 1
	\item Item 2
	\item Item 3
	\item Item 4
\end{enumerate}

\end{document}  

I didn't know until now that the enumerate package was out-of-date... I will have to learn the enumitem.
