list
The list
environment is a generic environment which is used for
defining many of the more specific environments. It is seldom used in
documents, but often in macros.
\begin{list}{labeling}{spacing} \item item1 \item item2 ... \end{list}
The mandatory labeling argument specifies how items should be
labelled (unless the optional argument is supplied to \item
).
This argument is a piece of text that is inserted in a box to form the
label. It can and usually does contain other LaTeX commands.
The mandatory spacing argument contains commands to change the
spacing parameters for the list. This argument will most often be
empty, i.e., {}
, which leaves the default spacing.
