General ⇒ Increase counter for enumerate

[krabby]

Hi,

I know that I can set the counter from the enumerate environment by using \setcounter{enumi}{}

But I want to increase the count enumerate does each time there is a new item.

i.e. 120 130 140 150 instead of 120 121 123 124

can someone help?

Thanks!

You can use \numexpr to set \theenumi (which is used to typeset the formatted counter value) to multiply the enumi counter by 10. Note that the argument of \numexpr should be ended with \relax which will be gobbled by \numexpr but ensure that it doesn't scan further ahead for possible numbers. Note also that in order to typeset the number calculated by \numexpr it must be preceded with \the.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}
\renewcommand*\theenumi{\the\numexpr(\value{enumi}*10)\relax}
\begin{enumerate}
  \item foo
  \item bar
  \item baz
\end{enumerate}

\end{document}

Regards
