Bulleted lists
- A bulleted list is an environment — it opens with
\beginand closes with\end:
\begin{itemize}
\item First thing
\item Second thing
\end{itemize}
- Every entry starts with
\item. The bullets and spacing are handled for you.
Numbered lists
- Want 1, 2, 3 instead of bullets? Use
enumerate— everything else is the same:
\begin{enumerate}
\item Wake up
\item Have breakfast
\end{enumerate}
- The numbers are automatic, so you can reorder items freely.
Lists inside lists
- Put a list inside an
\itemto make sub-points. LaTeX indents them and changes the bullet style. - Now try turning a few lines into a tidy bulleted list.
Turn the three foods into a bulleted list. Wrap them in \begin{itemize} … \end{itemize} and put \item before each one.
