Right bracket around itemized list

Post by pottertl »

Does anyone know how to make a bracket or a brace on the right side of an itemized list? I've tried several google searches and found nothing too helpful. It seems like it should be fairly simple.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Right bracket around itemized list

This is a very strange request: an itemized list with brackets. Are you sure you're not talking about enumerated lists? However, here's an example using enumitem package:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{enumitem}

\setenumerate{label=\arabic*)}% global settings
\setitemize{label=\textbullet)}% global settings

\begin{document}

\begin{enumerate}
\item First
\item Second
\item Third
\end{enumerate}

\begin{enumerate}[label=(\roman*)]% local settings
\item First
\item Second
\item Third
\end{enumerate}

\begin{itemize}
\item First
\item Second
\item Third
\end{itemize}

\begin{itemize}[label=(\textbullet)]% local settings
\item First
\item Second
\item Third
\end{itemize}

\end{document}

A parbox inside a math environment maybe? (You'll need to customize the width of the parbox.)

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
\[
\left.\parbox{0.3\textwidth}{%
\begin{itemize}
\item first
\item second
\item third
\end{itemize}%
}\right\}
\]
\end{document}
