Convenient and predictable list formatting is one of the many advantages of using LaTeX. Users of WYSIWYG word processors can sometimes be frustrated by the software's attempts to determine when they intend lists to begin and end. As a mark-up language, LaTeX gives more control over the structure and content of lists.

Lists often appear in documents, especially academic, as their purpose is often to present information in a clear and concise fashion. List structures in LaTeX are simply environments which essentially come in three types:

All three of these types of lists can have multiple paragraphs per item: just type the additional paragraphs in the normal way, with a blank line between each. So long as they are still contained within the enclosing environment, they will automatically be indented to follow underneath their item.

Try out the examples below, to see what the lists look like in a
real document.

LaTeX will happily allow you to insert a list environment into an
existing one (up to a depth of four, more levels are available
using packages). Simply begin the appropriate environment at the
desired point within the current list. Latex will sort out the
layout and any numbering for you.

Sometimes you feel the need to better align the different list
items. If you are using a KOMA-script class (or package
scrextend ), the
labeling environment is handy. It takes a mandatory
argument that contains the longest of your labels.

If you are on tight space limitations and only have short item
descriptions, you may want to have the list inline. Please note
that the example also shows how to change the font.

If you want a horizontal list, package tasks can be handy. In
combination with a package like exsheets, you can prepare exam
papers for students.

When dealing with lists containing just a few words per item,
the standard lists often take up too much space. Package
enumitem provides you a simple interface to
customize the appearance of lists.

You can change the appearance of lists globally in the preamble,
or just for single lists using the optional argument of the
environment. Have a look at the following example where the list
on the right is more compact using noitemsep .

An example for alignment and the width of the label.

The documentation of package enumitem goes into more detail with
respect to what can be changed and how. You can even define your
own lists.
Environments like labeling and tasks
can be changed differently, details can be found in the package
documentation respectively.

The easylist package allows you to create list using a more convenient syntax and with infinite nested levels.
It is also very customizable.

Load the package with the control character as optional argument:

The easylist environment will default to enumerations.

It features predefined styles which you can set as optional argument.

You can customize lists with the \ListProperties (...) command and revert back the customization with \NewList . Yes, that's parentheses for \ListProperties parameters.

The Style parameter sets the style of counters and text, the Style* parameter sets the style of counters, and the Style** parameter sets the style of text. The parameter Numbers determines the way that the numbers are displayed and the possible values are r or R (for lower and upper case Roman numerals), l or L (for lower and upper case letters), a (for Arabic numbers, the default), and z (for Zapf's Dingbats).

The FinalMark parameter sets the punctuation of the final counter (Ex: FinalMark3= { ) } ) while FinalSpace sets the amount of space between the item and the item's text. The Margin parameter sets the distance from the left margin (Ex: FinalSpace2=1cm ). The Progressive parameter sets the distance from the left margin of all items in proportion to their level.

The Hide = n parameter prevents the first n counters from appearing in all levels. If there is a number after a parameter (Ex: Style3* ) then this numbers indicates the level that it will affect (Ex: Style3= \color { red } ).

Note that we put the FinalMark argument between {} to avoid LaTeX understanding it as the end of the properties list.
Now we change the default properties to print a custom itemize:

– Blah

∙

{\displaystyle \bullet }
Blah


∘

{\displaystyle \circ }
Blah


◼

{\displaystyle \blacksquare }
Blah
    – Blah

Spaces in Style parameters are important. The Style* parameter acts as a default value and easylist will use a medium dash for level 1, 5 and onward.

You can also define custom styles using LaTeX macros:

Important note: easylist has some drawbacks.
First if you need to put an easylist inside an environment using the same control character as the one specified for easylist, you may get an error.
To circumvent it, use the following commands provided by easylist:

Besides using easylist along with figures may cause some trouble to the layout and the indentation.
LaTeX lists do not have this problem.

To use easylist with Beamer, each frame that uses easylist must be marked as fragile:

List in LaTeX is of various types and their formatting features are provided with convenience and
predictability. In this tutorial, we will discuss various kinds of lists in LaTeX like enumerate, itemize,
description and custom lists along with ordered, unordered and special lists.
The motive is to present information in a simple and concise manner. List structures in LaTeX are classified
into three types:
Itemize : This is an environment used for bulleted list basically when the given
details or information or to be put in an unordered list.
Enumerate : This is an environment used for numbered list. This list is given when
the information to be updated should be in a sequence or in a specified order.
Description : This environment is used when the item of the list has a description or
more information to it.
The ordered lists are created using the enumerate environment . These lists are the ones that
keep the details in a specific order.
Unordered list in LaTeX is created using the itemize environment. These lists are used where a specific order
for details is not necessary.
A description list is written using the description environment. These lists are used when the items of the
list have descriptions as well.
Nested lists are lists inside a list. These lists are designed when an item has other various sub-items.

Sometimes we feel need to align the items in a list differently. The package scrextend is
used.
The package enumitem provides the feature of customising list in LaTeX. The user can change
the appearance of the list globally or can just change for a few optional lists.
We use the easylist package when we need to create a list with a more comfortable and convenient syntax that
could be customized whenever the user needs. To load this package, we use the command \usepackage[ampersand]{easylist} .
We use a control character in the command as an optional argument. This environment defaults to several
enumerations and it provides predefined styles which can be set an optional arguments. Some of the
predefined styles are mentioned below:
Checklist – In this style, the items in the list have a checkbox beside them.

Booktoc – This has approximately the format which is used by the table of contents
of a book class.
Articletoc - This has approximately the format which is used by the table of
contents of a article class
Enumerate – This is a default style.
Itemize - The list can be customized by using the command \ListProperties(...) and
the customizations made can be reset using the command \NewList. The command has various parameters
which are discussed below:
The style parameter is used to set the style of the counters and text.
The style* parameter is used to set the style of the counters
The style** parameter is used to set the style of the text.
The numbers parameter is used to determine how a number should be displayed and the
possible values of upper and lower case Roman numbers and Letters, Arabic Numbers and Zapf’s
Dingbats.
The FinalMark parameter is used to set the punctuation of the final counter.
The FinalSpace parameter is used to set the space between an item and it’s text in
the list.
The Margin parameter is used to the set the distance from the left margin.
The Progressive parameter is used to set the distance of an item from the left
margin and proportion them to their level.
The Hide=n parameter is used to prevent the first n counters from appearing in all
level.
The easylist environment has a drawback that if easylist inside an environment is using the same control
character as the one specified for easylist, there may be an occurrence of error. To prevent this, the user
should use the command \Activate and \Deactivate before and after the environment
respectively.
