General ⇒ enumerate

[omkardpd]

Hi,

I need the document like following....

1. title1 (bold letters)
blah blah blah.
2. title2 (bold letters)
blah blah blah.

I am using following code....
\textbf{\begin{enumerate}
\item title1
blah blah blah....

\item title2
blah blah blah....
\end{enumerate}}

But I am getting some error messages. Not sure what is wrong with the code. If I separately enumerate for title2, then obviously I get same number for title1 and title2.

Can someone help me with this?

Thank you,

Omkar

Try with no empty lines between \item commands. \textbf{} command cannot take empty lines.

Do you need all the text be bold (title + blah blah...)? If do, try:

Code: Select all

\begin{enumerate}\bfseries
\item first
\item second
\item third...
\end{enumerate}

This way you get all inside enumerate environment bold and you can separate \item command with empty line(s).

Hi,

the code that you have suggested is giving me all text in bold. I want only text corresponding to \item under enumeration to be bold.

Thank you

OK, let's try this:

1. You need to use package enumitem, so in the preamble put:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{enumitem}

2. Create new customized list:

Code: Select all

\newcommand\litem[1]{\item{\bfseries #1\enspace}}

3. Use enumerate environment this way:

\begin{enumerate}[label=\textbf{\arabic*.}]
\litem{item bold} and text not bold

...or in new paragraph...
\litem{item bold} and text not bold...

...or in new paragraph...
\end{enumerate}
