Insert LaTeX Enumeration: We explain how

In LaTeX, you insert bulleted and numbered lists using commands. There is no simple button in LaTeX that automatically generates appropriate formatting. Instead, you use the "itemize" command for an enumeration without numbering and "enumerate" for a numbered list.

Inserting a bulleted list in LaTeX

If you want to insert a bulleted list in LaTeX, you need to write a few short lines of code. A button for inserting bullets and lists is not found in LaTeX. This distinguishes the program from word processing programs like Word. On the other hand, LaTeX offers the possibility to typeset texts more efficiently and to edit them more individually. It is therefore worthwhile to practice coding and to exhaust the possibilities of LaTeX. Enumerations can be inserted in LaTeX with a simple command. Enumerations can be used with or without numbering. For an enumeration without numbering use the command "itemize", for an enumeration with numbering use the command "enumerate". Enumerations can also be nested in up to four levels. The individual levels are automatically indented in the output.

This is what the code for a numbered enumeration in LaTeX looks like

• Code with one level:

\begin{enumerate}\item your content\item your content\end{enumerate}

• Code with four levels:

\begin{enumerate}\item content first level\begin{enumerate}\item content second level\begin{enumerate}\item content third level\begin{enumerate}\item content fourth level\begin{enumerate}\end{enumerate}\end{enumerate}
