<tt>\item[label] Text for this item</tt>
<p>
The <tt>\item</tt> command starts a new item in a 
<a href="lists.html">List Environment</a>.  The optional argument
<tt>label</tt> generates the item label; if not given a default
label is used.
<p>
A blank line preceding an <tt>\item</tt> command has no effect.
<p>
In order to use brackets as part of the <tt>label</tt> (for example,
in the <a href="ltx-31.html">Description Environment</a>) they must
be enclosed in braces:
<pre>
  <tt>\item[{[}item 1{]}] This is the first item</tt>
</pre>
The <tt>\item</tt> command is <a href="fragile.html">fragile</a>.
