Text Formatting ⇒ customize type of numbering in an Enumerate list

[assafwe]

Hi,

I would like to create an Enumerated environment (list), but instead of having numbers followed by a period, I want to have them inside brackets: "(1)" in place of "1.". How do I custom set the Enumerate environment?..

Thanks

Assaf

Search the forum for the enumitem package. Next time do the search first. The forum archive has many answers to those typical requests.

Hi,

I looked it up, but couldn't make it work myself..
Do I need to first download the Enumitem package? (sorry for my ignorance..)

How would I know? Perhaps it is already present on your system. Check that on the command prompt.

Code: Select all

kpsewhich enumitem.sty

If the package is installed, you will obtain the full path inside the TeX directory tree.

But a similar answer has already been given to another request [1]. In principal the provided solution works here also with some modifications. But I don't know how to translate that to LyX. Things like package inclusion should be covered by the LyX documentation.
