Text Formatting ⇒ How to change formatting of {description} environment

[vito]

How can I change the formatting of description environment?

In particular, I want labels before each item to be decorated with quotes. Please, help.

[vito]

I think I found it:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand*\descriptionlabel[1]{``#1''}

Am I right?

The enumitem package would make customization much easier.
