+
+A package to customize the three basic lists (enumerate,
+itemize and description) by means of a set of parameters.
+It provides most of the flexibility you may want to
+design your own lists:
+- fancy labels and fancy refs,
+- leftmargin, labelsep and labelwidth automatically set,
+- changes applied globally or only in one of the three
+ types or even in a single list (including topsep) by
+ means of a sort of "inheritance",
+- several description styles (which fix some bad
+ spacing, too),
+- starting value and counter resuming,
+- trivlists properly formatted,
+- control on page breaking

A new way to redefine the former is +accomplished in my own \textit{titlesec} package, but none was +availiable to customize the latter except: +\begin{itemize} +\item \textsf{enumerate}, which just allows to change the label and +it does it pretty well (or almost, as in Spanish a standard label is +\textit{a}) which cannot be set with \verb|\emph{a})| and one must +write \verb|\itshape a\/\upshape)|). + +\item \textsf{mdwlist}, which only ``provides some vaguely useful +list-related commands and environments,'' as its manual states, +and not a coherent way of handling lists. + +\item \textsf{paralist}, which provides lists within a paragraph (the +original purpose of this package), a few other hard-wired +specific changes and the optional argument of \textsf{enumerate}. +Note \textsf{enumitem} does not allow grouping items within +a paragraph yet. +\end{itemize} + +One of the main drawbacks of the standard \verb|list| is its weird +parameters, whose meaning is not always obvious. In order to provide +a cleaner interface two approaches were possible: either defining new +lists, or introducing a new syntax making the standard lists easier to +customize. For marks I took the first approach in titlesec, just +because I did not manage to find a satisfactory solution with the +\LaTeX{} internal macros, but since lists are in some sense more +``complete'' than sections and marks, I have taken here the second +approach. + +In the interface a sort of ``inheritance'' is used. You can +set globally the behaviour of lists and then override several +parameters of, say, enumerate and then in turn override +a few paremeters of a particular instance. The values will +be searched in the hierarchy. + +This is basically an advance of a project which I am working +on which will add this kind of inheritance to other structures +of \LaTeX{}. + +\section{The package} + +This package is intended to ease customizing the three +basic list environments: \verb|enumerate|, \verb|itemize| and +\verb|description|. It extends their syntax to allow +an optional argument where a set of parameters in the +form \verb|key=value| are available: +\begin{itemize} +\item +Vertical spacing: +\begin{itemize} +\item \verb|topsep| +\item \verb|partopsep| +\item \verb|parsep| +\item \verb|itemsep| +\end{itemize} +\item +Horizontal spacing: +\begin{itemize} +\item \verb|leftmargin| +\item \verb|rightmargin| +\item \verb|listparindent| +\item \verb|labelwidth| +\item \verb|labelsep| +\item \verb|itemindent| +\end{itemize} +\end{itemize} + +These are equivalent to the well known list parameters, but +two of them, namely \verb|leftmargin| and \verb|labelsep|, +can have in addition the special value of \verb|*| as +described below. + +The following new parameters are provided: +\begin{itemize} + + +\item \verb|font|. Sets the label font. Useful when the label is +changed with the optional argument of \verb|\item|. + +\item \verb|label|. Sets the label to be used in the current level. +A set of starred versions of \verb|\alph|, \verb|\Alph|, +\verb|\arabic|, \verb|\roman| and \verb|\Roman|, without argument +stand for the current counter in \verb|enumerate|.\footnote{Actually, +the asterisk is currently the argument but things may change. +Consider them as starred variants and follow the corresponding +syntax.} Thus +\begin{verbatim} +\begin{enumerate}[label=\emph{\alph*})] +\end{verbatim} +prints \textit{a}), \textit{b}), and so on (this is a +standard style in Spanish). + +A fancier example (which looks ugly, but it is intended only +to illustrate what is possible; requires \textsf{color} and +\textsf{pifont}): +\begin{verbatim} +\begin{enumerate}[label=\protect\fcolorbox{blue}{yellow}{\ding{\value*}}, + start=172] +\end{verbatim} + +\item \verb|ref|. By default, \verb|label| sets also the form of cross +references and \verb|\the...|, but you can define a +different format. For +example, to remove the right parethesis: +\begin{verbatim} +\begin{enumerate}[label=\emph{\alph*}),ref=\emph{\alph*}] +\end{verbatim} +In both \verb|label| and \verb|ref|, the counters can be +used as usual: +\begin{verbatim} +\begin{enumerate}[label=\theenumi.\arabic*.] +\end{verbatim} +or +\begin{verbatim} +\begin{enumerate}[label=\arabic{enumi}.\arabic*.] +\end{verbatim} +(provided the current level is the second one). + +Note the \verb|label|s are \textit{not} accumulated to form +the reference. If you want, say, something like 1.\textit{a} +from 1) as first level and \textit{a}) as second level, +you must set it with \verb|ref|. You may use +\verb|\ref{level1}.\ref{level2}| with appropiate \verb|ref| +settings, but as Robin Fairbairns points out in the \TeX{} FAQ +\begin{quote} +\dots{} [that] would be both tedious and error-prone. What is more, it +would be undesirable, since you would be constructing a visual +representation which is inflexible (you could not change all the +references to elements of a list at one fell swoop). +\end{quote} +This is sensible and I recommend to follow the advice, but sometimes +you might want something like: +\begin{verbatim} +... subitem \ref{level2} of item \ref{level1} ... +\end{verbatim} + +Both \verb|label| and \verb|ref| are moving arguments, and fragile +commands must be protected \textit{except} the counters. + +\item \verb|leftmargin=*|. Sets the label width to the width of +the current label, using the default value of \textit{0} in +\verb|\arabic*|, \textit{viii} in \verb|\roman*|, \textit{m} in +\verb|\alph*| and similarly in uppercase forms. The left +margin is then set to \verb|labelwidth| $+$ \verb|labelsep|. +You can give a value to the key \verb|widest|, and it will +be used to set the margin. For example: +\begin{verbatim} +\begin{itemize}[label=\textbullet, leftmargin=*] +\begin{enumerate}[label=\roman*), leftmargin=*, widest=iii] +\end{verbatim} + +Put in in other words, the label starts at the same place as the +surrounding text (but see \verb|labelindent| below), then comes the +label, the space after it as set by \verb|labelsep| and the item body. + +\item \verb|labelsep=*|. Similar to the previous one +but here the label sep is set to \verb|leftmargin| $-$ +\verb|labelwidth|. +\begin{verbatim} +\begin{itemize}[label=\textbullet, + leftmargin=2pc, labelsep=*] +\end{verbatim} + +As before, the label starts at the same place as the surrounding text, +then comes the label, the space after it and the item body. The +difference between \verb|labelsep=*| and \verb|leftmargin=*| is that +in the former the item body begins at a fixed place (namely, +\verb|leftmargin|), while the latter begins at a variable place +depending on the label (but always the same within a list, of course). +Most of times, what you would want is \verb|leftmargin=*|. + +Unfortunately, \verb|labelsep| has not a default value +to be applied to all lists---simply the current value +is used. If you nest a \verb|leftmargin=*| within a +\verb|labelsep=*|, the value to compute the left margin +is not what you could expect. The way \LaTeX{} assigns values +to the list parameters is one of the things which makes +redefining lists a mess, but with \textsf{enumitem} you can +set default values for every list, as described below. +In this case, all you need is: +\begin{verbatim} +\setlist{itemsep=.5em} +\end{verbatim} + +% \textbf{Note.} Version 0.2 computes the values even with +% the settings predefined by the classes (only partially +% tested). Please, let me know if a class gives a wrong +% result. + +\item \verb|widest|. To be used in conjunction with any of the +two previous keys, if desired. It overrides the default +values for the label width. Sometimes, if lists are not very +long, a value of \verb|a| for \verb|\alph| is more sensible +than \verb|m|: +\begin{verbatim} +\begin{enumerate}[leftmargin=*,widest=a] % Assume standard 2nd level +\end{verbatim} + +\item \verb|labelindent|. Blank space before the label +with \verb|leftmargin=*| and \verb|labelsep=*|, and in +\verb|description|. Example: +\begin{verbatim} +\begin{enumerate}[label=\arabic*., leftmargin=2\parindent, + labelindent=\parindent, labelsep=*] +\end{verbatim} + +Since \verb|\parindent| is not used as such inside lists, but instead +is set internally to either \verb|itemindent| or \verb|listparindent|, +when used as the value of a parameter \textsf{enumitem} returns the +global value, i. e., the value it has outside the outermost list. +\end{itemize} + +The horizontal space in the left margin of the current level +is distributed in the following way: +\begin{center} +\begin{tabular}{cc} +\fbox{\fbox{\strut \texttt{labelindent}} + \fbox{\strut \texttt{labelwidth}} + \fbox{\strut \texttt{labelsep} $-$ \texttt{itemintent}}} +& +\fbox{\strut\texttt{itemindent}}\\ +\texttt{leftmargin} +\end{tabular} +\end{center} +Remember \verb|labelsep| spans part of \verb|leftmargin| and +\verb|itemindent| if the latter is not zero. This is often +somewhat confusing, so remember that if you want a separation +between label and item \textit{body} of, say, 6pt, and the item +indent is 8pt, then \verb|labelsep| should be $6 + 8$. The +foregoing discussion about how the \verb|*| values are computed +presumes \verb|itemindent| is 0 pt, but any other value it is +taken into account. + +\begin{itemize} + +\item \verb|align|. How the label is aligned. Two values +are possible: \verb|left| and the default \verb|right|. +The parameters controlling the label spacing should be +properly set, either by hand or more conveniently with +the \verb|*| settings: +\begin{verbatim} +\begin{enumerate}[label=\Roman*., align=left, leftmargin=*] +\end{verbatim} + +\item \verb|start|. Sets the number of the first item. + +\item \verb|resume|. Makes the counter to be continued +from the previous \verb|enumerate|, instead of resetting it +to 1. +\begin{verbatim} +\begin{enumerate} +\item First item. +\item Second item. +\end{enumerate} +Text. +\begin{enumerate}[resume] +\item Third item +\end{enumerate} +\end{verbatim} + +\item \verb|beginpenalty|, \verb|midpenalty| and \verb|endpenalty| set +the penalty at the beginning of a list, between items and at the end +of the list. Please, refer to your \LaTeX{} or \TeX{} manual about +how penalties control page breaks. Unlike other parameters, when a +list starts their values are not reset to the default, thus they +apply to the enclosed lists, too. + +\end{itemize} + +A key are available in \verb|description| +\begin{itemize} +\item \verb|style|. Sets the \textit{style}, with the +following values: +\begin{itemize} + +\item \verb|nextline|: if the label does not fit in the margin, the +text continues in the next line, otherwise it is placed in a box of +width \verb|leftmargin|, ie, the item body never sticks into the left +margin. + +\item \verb|sameline|: like \verb|nextline| but if the label does not +fit in the margin the text continues in the same line. + +\item \verb|multiline|: the label is placed in a parbox whose width is +\verb|leftmargin|, with several lines if necessary. + +\item \verb|unboxed|: much like the standard \verb|description|, but +the label is not boxed to avoid uneven spacing and unbroken labels if +they are long. +\end{itemize} +\end{itemize} + +A few predefined valueless keys might be useful: +\begin{itemize} +\item \verb|noitemsep| kills the space between items +and paragraphs (ie, \verb|itemsep=0pt| and \verb|parsep=0pt|). +\item \verb|nolistsep| kills all vertical spacing. +\item \verb|fullwidth| is still somewhat experimental. The +leftmargin is null and the label is part of the text. Here +\verb|labelsep| sets the separation between the label and the first +word. +You may want to set \verb|itemindent| and \verb|listparindent| +to \verb|\parindent|, too. +\end{itemize} + +% If you think the addition of \verb|\parskip| and \verb|\parsep| +% is annoying, you can use \verb|listskip| ($=$ \verb|\topsep| $-$ +% \verb|\parskip|) and \verb|itemskip| ($=$ \verb|\itemsep| $-$ +% \verb|\parsep|). + +Global changes, to be applied to all of these list, are also +possible: +\begin{itemize} +\item \verb|\setenumerate[level]{format}| +\item \verb|\setitemize[level]{format}| +\item \verb|\setdescription{format}| +\item \verb|\setlist[level]{format}| +\end{itemize} +Where \verb|level| is the list level in \verb|list|, and the +corresponding level in \verb|enumerate| and \verb|itemize|. Without +\verb|level|, the format applies to all levels. Here list does not +mean any list but only the three ones handled by this package. +Example: +\begin{verbatim} +\setlist{noitemsep} +\setlist[1]{\labelindent=\parindent} % << Usually a good idea +\setitemize{leftmargin=*} +\setitemize[1]{label=$\triangleleft$} +\setenumerate{labelsep=*, leftmargin=1.5pc} +\setenumerate[1]{label=\arabic*., ref=\arabic*} +\setenumerate[2]{label=\emph{\alph*}), + ref=\theenumi.\emph{\alph*}} +\setenumerate[3]{label=\roman*), ref=\theenumii.\roman*} +\setdescription{font=\sffamily\bfseries} +\end{verbatim} +These setting are read in the following order: list, +list at the current level, enumerate/itemize/description, +and enumerate/itemize at the current level; if a key +has several values, the last one, ie. the most specific +one, is applied. Finally, the +optional argument, if any, is applied. \LaTeX{} provides +a set of macros to change many of these parameters, but +setting them with the package is more consistent and +sometimes more flexible at the cost of being more +``explicit'' (and verbose). + +No attempt has been made (yet) to discriminate the font size +(\verb|\normalsize|, \verb|\small|\dots). Suggestions are +most welcome. + +\section{Three patterns} + +Three list layouts could be considered very +frequent. Let us apply the parameters above to define them. + +The first pattern aligns the label with the surrounding +\verb|\parindent| while the item body is indented depending +on the label and a fixed \verb|labelsep|: +\begin{verbatim} +labelindent=\parindent, +leftmargin=* +\end{verbatim} +A fairly frequent variant is when the label is aligned with +the surrounding text: +\begin{verbatim} +leftmargin=* +\end{verbatim} +The former looks better in the first level while the latter +seems preferable in subsequent ones. That can be easily +set with +\begin{verbatim} +\setlist{leftmargin=*} +\setlist[1]{labelindent=\parindent} % Only the level 1 +\end{verbatim} + +The second pattern aligns the item body with the surrounding +\verb|\parindent|. In this case: +\begin{verbatim} +leftmargin=\parindent +\end{verbatim} + +A third pattern would be to align the label with \verb|\parindent| +and the item body with \verb|2\parindent|: +\begin{verbatim} +labelindent=\parindent, +leftmargin=2\parindent, +itemsep=* +\end{verbatim} +Again, a variant would be to align the label with the surrounding +text and the itembody with \verb|\parindent|: +\begin{verbatim} +leftmargin=\parindent, +itemsep=* +\end{verbatim} + +Note here \verb|\parindent| means the global value applied +to normal paragraphs. + +\section{The trivlist issue} + +\LaTeX{} uses a simplified version of \verb|list| named +\verb|trivlist| to set displayed material, like \verb|center|, +\verb|quote|, etc., even if conceptually they are not lists. +Unfortunately, \verb|trivlist| uses the current list settings, which +has the odd side effect that changing the vertical spacing of lists +also changes the spacing in these environments. + +This package modifies \verb|trivlist| so that the default settings for +the current level (ie, those set by the corresponding \verb|clo| +files) are set again. In standard \LaTeX{} that is usually redundand, +but if we want to fine tune lists, not resetting the default values +could be a real issue (particularly if you use the \verb|nolistsep| +option). + +A minimal control of vertical spacing has been made possible with +\begin{itemize} +\item \verb|\setdisplayed[level]{format}| +\end{itemize} +but \verb|trivlist| itself, which is not used directly very +often, does not accept an optional argument. This feature +is not intended as a full-fledge \verb|trivlist| formatter. + +If for some reason you do not want to change \verb|trivlist| +and preserve the original definition, you can use the +package option \verb|ignoredisplayed|. + +\section{Samples} + +\expandafter\ifx\csname setenumerate\endcsname\relax + +Please, install first the package and then typeset this +document again. + +\else + +In these samples we set \verb|\setlist{noitemsep}| + +\setlist{noitemsep} +\small + +\vskip6pt +\goodbreak +\hrule +\vskip6pt + +\begin{verbatim} +En un lugar de la Mancha, de cuyo nombre no quiero acordarme, +no ha mucho tiempo que viv\'{\i}a un hidalgo de los de +\begin{enumerate}[labelindent=\parindent,leftmargin=*] + \item lanza en astillero, + \item adarna antigua, + \item roc\'{\i}n flaco, y + \item galgo corredor. +\end{enumerate} +Una olla de algo m\'{a}s vaca que carnero, salpic\'{o}n las m\'{a}s +noches, duelos y quebrantos los s\'{a}bados... +\end{verbatim} + +En un lugar de la Mancha, de cuyo nombre no quiero acordarme, +no ha mucho tiempo que viv\'{\i}a un hidalgo de los de +\begin{enumerate}[labelindent=\parindent,leftmargin=*] +\item lanza en astillero, +\item adarna antigua, +\item roc\'{\i}n flaco, y +\item galgo corredor. +\end{enumerate} +Una olla de algo m\'{a}s vaca que carnero, salpic\'{o}n las m\'{a}s +noches, duelos y quebrantos los s\'{a}bados... + + +\vskip6pt +\goodbreak +\hrule +\vskip6pt + +With \verb|\begin{enumerate}[leftmargin=*]| + +En un lugar de la Mancha, de cuyo nombre no quiero acordarme, +no ha mucho tiempo que viv\'{\i}a un hidalgo de los de +\begin{enumerate}[leftmargin=*] +\item lanza en astillero, +\item adarna antigua, +\item roc\'{\i}n flaco, y +\item galgo corredor. +\end{enumerate} +Una olla de algo m\'{a}s vaca que carnero, salpic\'{o}n las m\'{a}s +noches, duelos y quebrantos los s\'{a}bados... + +\vskip6pt +\goodbreak +\hrule +\vskip6pt + +With \verb|\begin{enumerate}[leftmargin=\parindent]| + +En un lugar de la Mancha, de cuyo nombre no quiero acordarme, +no ha mucho tiempo que viv\'{\i}a un hidalgo de los de +\begin{enumerate}[leftmargin=\parindent] +\item lanza en astillero, +\item adarna antigua, +\item roc\'{\i}n flaco, y +\item galgo corredor. +\end{enumerate} +Una olla de algo m\'{a}s vaca que carnero, salpic\'{o}n las m\'{a}s +noches, duelos y quebrantos los s\'{a}bados... + +\vskip6pt +\goodbreak +\hrule +\vskip6pt + +With +\begin{verbatim} +\begin{enumerate}[labelindent=\parindent, leftmargin=*, + label=\Roman*., widest=IV, align=left] +\end{verbatim} + +En un lugar de la Mancha, de cuyo nombre no quiero acordarme, +no ha mucho tiempo que viv\'{\i}a un hidalgo de los de +\begin{enumerate}[labelindent=\parindent, leftmargin=*, + label=\Roman*., widest=IV, align=left] +\item lanza en astillero, +\item adarna antigua, +\item roc\'{\i}n flaco, y +\item galgo corredor. +\end{enumerate} +Una olla de algo m\'{a}s vaca que carnero, salpic\'{o}n las m\'{a}s +noches, duelos y quebrantos los s\'{a}bados... + +\vskip6pt +\goodbreak +\hrule +\vskip6pt + +With \verb|\begin{enumerate}[label=\fbox{\arabic*}]|.

In this model, +one can have a description with entries marked with labels, as for +example: +\begin{verbatim} +\newcommand\litem[1]{\item{\bfseries #1,\enspace}} +\begin{itemize}[label=\textbullet] +\litem{Lo primero que ten\'{\i}a el Quijote} lanza en astillero, +... etc. +\end{verbatim} + +\vskip6pt +\goodbreak +\hrule +\vskip6pt + +\newcommand\litem[1]{\item{\bfseries #1,\enspace}} +En un lugar de la Mancha, de cuyo nombre no quiero acordarme, +no ha mucho tiempo que viv\'{\i}a un hidalgo de los de +\begin{itemize}[label=\textbullet] +\litem{Lo primero que ten\'{\i}a el Quijote} lanza en astillero, +\litem{Lo segundo} adarna antigua, +\litem{Lo tercero} roc\'{\i}n flaco, y +\litem{Y por \'{u}ltimo, lo cuarto} galgo corredor. +\end{itemize} + +\vskip6pt +\goodbreak +\hrule +\vskip6pt + +This format in not infrequent at all and I thing any future +development of this package has to take it into account. + +\subsection{Known issues} + +Description styles othen than the default one don't group +labels if they are nested. + +\subsection{Changes in 0.2} + +If you were using the beta release 0.1, please note version 0.2 +introduced several modifications, which also applies to this +first release. The main change is a new syntax for +\verb|calcsep| and \verb|calcmargin|, but modifying the current files +is trivial with find and replace (if applied in the given order): +\begin{itemize} +\item +\verb|calcmargin=| becomes \verb|leftmargin=*,widest=| +\item +\verb|calcmargin| becomes \verb|leftmargin=*| +\item +\verb|calcsep=| becomes \verb|labelsep=*,widest=| +\item +\verb|calcsep| becomes \verb|labelsep=*| +\end{itemize} + +\end{document} |
