List Tools
- List GeneratorNeed help creating lists in LaTeX? Use the List Generator! Enter and format your lists in the online text editor. The List Generator will then provide you with the source code to create these lists in your own LaTeX document.
Getting Started with Lists
To create a list, you will create one of two types of environments:
- Enumerate - Ordered List
- Itemize - Unordered List
After opening the environment, simply use the command \item
and then write your first item on the list. Use a new \item
for each addition to the list.
Enumerate (Ordered List)
An enumerate
environment will create an "ordered" list (e.g. numbered). See below for an example of source code and the resulting output.
Itemize (Unordered List)
An itemize
environment will create an "unordered" list (e.g. bulleted). See below for an example of source code and the resulting output.
Nested Lists
To create a nested list, simply create a new list environment inside of an existing list environment. This will create a subset list underneath the last item on the list. You can create nested lists using either enumerate or itemize environments. See below for examples of source code and resulting output. (Note: You do not need to indent the subset list in the source code. The nested list will automatically be made subset in the output. Doing so in the source code is simply to help with visual organization.)
