Hi,

I am using LyX, and would like to create an enumerated list with roman numerals.. Does anyone know how?

Thanks,

Asaf

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Roman numerals in LyX

Post by meho_r »

Redefining labelenumi command before the beginning of the list should do the trick:

1. Ctrl+L

2. Type in the following code:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\labelenumi}{\Roman{enumi}.}
3. To change the numbering back to Arabic, do the steps 1. and 2. again, but replace \Roman with \arabic.

Note: for lowercase roman numbers, use \roman instead of \Roman.

For more infos about this take a look at Additional Features manual, Section 7.2. (in LyX, go to: Help > Additional Features).
