Listing Items

The items can be marked in one of three way:
\begin{itemize}
\item just by a bullet, using \texttt{itemize}

\item numbered, using \texttt{enumerate} 

\begin{enumerate}
\item one
\item two
\item three
\end{enumerate}

\item or with a label, using \texttt{description} 

\begin{description}
\item[itemize] bullets
\item[enumerate] automatic numbering
\item[description] labelling
\end{description}

\end{itemize}

The pifont package includes a variant of the itemize command that will replace the usual 'bullet' by a Zapf Dingbat symbol of your choice

\begin{dinglist}{43}
\item First 
\item Second
\end{dinglist}


\begin{dinglist}{43}
\item First
\item Second
\end{dinglist}

and a variant of the enumerate command that given an initial Zapf Dingbat symbol will increment the symbol for each item.

\begin{dingautolist}{172}
\item First 
\item Second
\end{dingautolist}

\begin{dingautolist}{172}
\item First
\item Second
\end{dingautolist}
