Text Formatting ⇒ Enumeration with a given List of Characters

[bkarpuz]

Dear LC members,

Suppose that I have the following list of characters:

a, b, c, ç, d, e, f, g, ğ, h, ı, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, ö, p, r, s, ş, t, u, ü, v, y, z

and when I use the enumerate environment, I want the items change by following the list given above. I know that we can do it manually but I want to modify the enumerate environment if possible.


Many thanks.

Looks like the Turkish alphabet. An almost identical question has already been discussed here [1]. Should be sufficient for you, too.

Thank you localghost! This is what I really wanted to see. But I could not make it work with enumerate package. You have mentioned in your post that we have to introduce them to the package. Can you help me please to make it work with enumerate package.

I used as follows.

Code: Select all

\begin{enumerate}[label={1.\turkish*},leftmargin=*,ref={1.\turkish*.}]
\setcounter{enumi}{0}
\item
\item 
\end{enumerate}

Many thanks.

Do not use the enumerate package. This won't work. Use the enumitem package and add the two lines that I mentioned to the preamble of your document.
