Summary
In this chapter, we got to know a new way to structure our text—lists. Specifically, we learned to create:
- Bulleted lists using the
itemize
environment - Numbered lists using the
enumerate
environment - Definition lists using the
description
environment
Furthermore, we worked with compact versions of such lists provided by the packages paralist
and enumitem
. Those packages allowed us to customize our lists at will.
You may regard those lists as an additional possibility to structure your text. Use it to clarify your ideas. Though you may design the layout of lists as you wish, it's highly recommended to use the same bullets and numbering scheme respectively for the same nesting level.
