Text Formatting ⇒ enumerate question

[bar_ba_dos]

Hi,

I would like to achieve the following enumerate style:

Code: Select all

1. Text for the first item.
2. Text for the second item.
3   i. Text for the first sub-item.
   ii. Text for the second sub-item.
  iii. Text for the third sub-item.

What I have at the moment (by changing enumi, enumii and labelenumii) is close to what I want but the sub-list is starting on a newline I guess with some additional indenting. It looks a bit like:

Code: Select all

1. Text for the first item.
2. Text for the second item.
3.
   i. Text for the first sub-item.
  ii. Text for the second sub-item.
  iii. Text for the third sub-item.

What should I do to get the style I want? Thus what command do I use to make sure the sub-list doesn't start on the next line? Thanks.

Hi,

the following does what you want:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

\renewcommand\labelenumii{\roman{enumii}.}
\begin{enumerate}
  \item First item.
  \item Second item.
  \item 
  \begin{enumerate}
    \item First subitem.
    \item Second subitem.
    \item Third subitem.
  \end{enumerate}
\end{enumerate}

\end{document}
