@enumerate
: Making a Numbered or Lettered List@enumerate
is like @itemize
(see section @itemize
), except that the labels on the items are
successive integers or letters instead of bullets.
Write the @enumerate
command at the beginning of a line. The
command does not require an argument, but accepts either a number or a
letter as an option. Without an argument, @enumerate
starts the
list with the number ‘1’. With a numeric argument, such as
‘3’, the command starts the list with that number. With an upper
or lower case letter, such as ‘a’ or ‘A’, the command starts
the list with that letter.
Write the text of the enumerated list in the same way you write an
itemized list: put @item
on a line of its own before the start
of each paragraph that you want enumerated. Do not write any other text
on the line beginning with @item
.
You should put a blank line between entries in the list. This generally makes it easier to read the Info file.
Here is an example of @enumerate
without an argument:
@enumerate @item Underlying causes. @item Proximate causes. @end enumerate
This produces:
Here is an example with an argument of 3:
@enumerate 3 @item Predisposing causes. @item Precipitating causes. @item Perpetuating causes. @end enumerate
This produces:
Here is a brief summary of the alternatives. The summary is constructed
using @enumerate
with an argument of a.
@enumerate
Without an argument, produce a numbered list, starting with the number 1.
@enumerate positive-integer
With a (positive) numeric argument, start a numbered list with that number. You can use this to continue a list that you interrupted with other text.
@enumerate upper-case-letter
With an upper case letter as argument, start a list in which each item is marked by a letter, beginning with that upper case letter.
@enumerate lower-case-letter
With a lower case letter as argument, start a list in which each item is marked by a letter, beginning with that lower case letter.
You can also nest enumerated lists, as in an outline.
