Text Formatting ⇒ Creating lists with a specific unit

[lgraden]

Hi all,

I'd like a recommendation for what environment or package can be used to create a list where you get a unit or a topic name with each post, in addition to the number. I'd like to make a list which looks like this:

Person 1 Kate
Person 2 William
Person 3 Sarah

or

Line 1 Text text text
Line 2 More text more text
Line 3 Even more text


Meaning, I'd like the automatic enumeration preceeded by a unit/topic/word of my choice. The description environment doesn't quit fit this, since I'd rather not have to enter things manually and I don't want it in bold.

Any hints would be great. Have a great weekend y'all!

Hi

the {enumerate} should do the trick.

First, make sure to have the enumitem package is loaded. With this package you are able to customize teh enumeration label. Your first example will be code :

Code: Select all

\begin{enumerate}[label=Person \arabic*]
    \item Kate 
    \item William
    \item Sara
\end{enumerate}

Worked like a charm. Thank you!
