Bennet's solution works perfectly and it is aesthetically pleasing to the
eye. Sometimes, though, you need to interrupt the list altogether, go back
to regular, non-indented body text, and then resume the list from the next
number.Something like this:
1 item bla bla bla bla
(a) sub-item
(b)another sub-item
continue item 1 again bla bla bla
2 another item bla bla bla
In these cases you can use the enumitem module, which imports the enumitem
latex package. Unfortunately the numbering pattern looks wrong on screen,
but it turns out fine in the pdf. See attached example.
Cheers,
Stefano
