I’m working on the rendering of directory trees. Before I try a MetaPost
drawing, I’d like to use a nested itemization.
What are my options for changing the symbol of some single items (not
whole levels)?
* \sym{} works, but there’s no \startsym … \stopsym and I’d prefer to
use a complete structure to properly wrap a sub-itemization.
* \startitem[symbol=1] … \stopitem isn’t possible.
So far I can do:
📂 root folder
📁 folder (closed)
📂 folder (open)
📄 file.tex
📄 file.mkiv
I guess I’d also manage to do:
📂 root folder
┣━📁 folder (closed)
┗━📂 folder (open)
┣━📄 file.tex
┗━📄 file.mkiv
Would it be possible to do the following with an itemization?
▽ 📂 root folder
┆ ▷ 📁 folder (closed)
┆ ▽ 📂 folder (open)
┆ ┆ 📄 file.tex
┆ ┆ 📄 file.mkiv
Or are items the wrong approach for this?
You don't need/want to use the itemize mechanism but use on of the
following methods:
1. Use \leftskip to increment each level by a fixed amount and add the
graphics with \llap at the begin of the entry.
2. Add a \hbox with a fixed size at the beginning of each entry for each
level.
You should also take a look at Hans dirtree package included in the
distribution.
