Text Formatting ⇒ Restate item of list

[ChoKamir]

Hi,

Is it possible to restate somewhere in the document the text of an item of a list? For instance something like this:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a list of items:

• This is question number 1
• This is question number 3
• This is the last question

Now we have here some text, and some more text. And further more this text answers '1. This is question number 1'.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In my thesis at the begin i've a list of all the research question and I would like to restate them later in the document when they are answered. Just retyping doesn't seem handy, because when i change the research question slightly i've to go through my text and change all the 'references' too.
Thanks for any help,

ChoKamir

Is there something against »Copy & Paste«?

If you don't like copy and paste, you could define a command for each one.

Code: Select all

\newcommand{\colorquestion}{What is your favorite color?}%
\begin{itemize}
\item \colorquestion
\end{itemize}

The answer to ``\colorquestion'' is ``Blue''.

Hmmm... ok, if that is the only way, i'll take that.

What i've against copy-paste, is that in a document of 200p you lose track of where you refere to that question. So I've the research question in the list changes (which happens now and then) i've to search the whole document and replace all the instance. Which is error prone.

Thanks for the suggestion with the commands.

If the problem is solved with that, then please mark the topic accordingly as written in Section 3 of the Board Rules.
