LaTeX provides several List-Making Environments
These may be nested up to  four deep.  
<p>

<p>The items in the list are given by <a href="item.html"><tt>\item</tt></a>
commands.
A blank line before an <tt>\item</tt> command has no effect.

<h2>List-Making Enviroments</h2>
<DL>
<dt><h3><a href="ltx-31.html">Description</a></h3>
<dd>Typically used for giving short definitions or descriptions; the 
<tt>label</tt> argument of the <a href="item.html"><tt>\item</tt></a> command
generally giving the term being described (although it <strong>can</strong>
be left blank, it will look strange).  The text of the 
<a href="item.html"><tt>\item</tt></a> command is indented.

<dt><h3><a href="ltx-222.html">Enumerate</a></h3>
<dd>Typically used for numbered lists.
<a href="ltx-3.html">Counters</a> for these lists are
provided by <tt>enumi, emumii, enumiii, enumiv</tt>, respectively, for the four 
levels of nesting.

<dt><h3><a href="ltx-250.html">Itemize</a></h3>
<dd>Typically used for unnumbered lists. The default 
<tt>label</tt> argument of the <a href="item.html"><tt>\item</tt></a> command
produces "tick-marks" which vary by level of nesting, generally
"bullets" for the first level.

<dt><h3><a href="ltx-260.html">List</a></h3>
<dd>Produces a list of labeled items and has required arguments that
allow a great deal of flexibility in layout. It is generally used  
to define new environments with the 
<a href="ltx-19.html"><tt>\newenvironment</tt></a> command, or to 
set up one-of-a-kind lists.

<dt><h3><a href="trivlist.html">Trivlist</a></h3>
<dd>Like the List Environment, using the currently defined values of 
list-making parameters; normally used to define an environment with a 
single item, with an <a href="item.html"><tt>\item</tt></a> command
as part of the environment definition.
