4.4.2 Ordered Lists

Ordered lists are created using the enumerate environment. It has exactly the same format as the itemize environment described above.

\begin{enumerate}
  \item Animal
  \item Vegetable
  \item Mineral
\end{enumerate}

As before, the marker for a particular item can be overridden:

  \item Animal
  \item[{[X]}] Vegetable
  \item Mineral
\end{enumerate}
