Text Formatting ⇒ How to change the enumerate numbering

[turbomac]

Hi everyone

I'm writing a question sheet for my students, but I have a problem with enumerate environment. I've tried a lot of things that I've found in the web and even in the forum.
Here is a part of the code

Code: Select all

\begin{questions}

\begin{section}{Title} %just a title


\question Use the \emph{if-elseif-else-end} block to determine which... blabla

\question blablablablablabblablala
\question blablablablablablablablablabblablala

\question blablabla: % here is my problem
\begin{enumerate} 
 \item First sub question
\item Second sub question
\item Third sub question
\end{enumerate}

\end{section}
...

The numbering of that enumerated list appears with numbers and I want it with letters. Any suggestions??
How do I change the numbering style of the enumerate lists??
Thanks in advance.

You can redefine the labels of itemized lists like the enumerate environment by hand or use the enumitem package. But for your purpose I think the exam class is the better solution. It offers many mechanisms for customization.

Yeah, I'm using the exam document class. But I found a solution.

Code: Select all

\usepackage{enumerate}
\begin{document}
\begin{enumerate}[(a)]
\item blabla
\item blabla
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}

Thanks anyway!

I think Section 5.10 (Customizing the numbers, p. 35f) of the exam class manual is the better reference thus preferable.
