How to Itemize List with Letters in LaTeX

In LaTeX, you can create an itemized list with letters by using the enumerate environment and customizing the labels.

The following examples show how to create an itemized list with letters in LaTeX.

How to Create an Itemized List with Letters

We can use the enumerate environment and customize the labels to create an itemized list with letters in LaTeX document.

Suppose we want to create an itemized list with letters.

We can use the following LaTeX code to do so:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{enumitem} % Include the enumitem package for list customization

\begin{document}

This is an example of an itemized list with letters:
\begin{enumerate}[label=\alph*)] % Customize the label using enumitem
    \item First item
    \item Second item
    \item Third item
\end{enumerate}

\end{document}

Output: 👇️

This is an example of an itemized list with letters:
a) First item
b) Second item
c) Third item

In this example, we use the enumerate environment with the label=\alph*) option to create an itemized list with letters.

How to Create a Nested Itemized List with Letters

We can also create nested itemized lists with letters by using the same approach within nested enumerate environments.

Suppose we want to create a nested itemized list with letters.

We can use the following LaTeX code to do so:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\begin{document}

This is an example of a nested itemized list with letters:
\begin{enumerate}[label=\alph*)]
    \item First item
    \item Second item
    \begin{enumerate}[label=\roman*)]
        \item Subitem 1
        \item Subitem 2
    \end{enumerate}
    \item Third item
\end{enumerate}

\end{document}

Output: 👇️

This is an example of a nested itemized list with letters:
a) First item
b) Second item
    i) Subitem 1
    ii) Subitem 2
c) Third item

In this example, we use the enumerate environment within another enumerate environment to create a nested itemized list with letters and Roman numerals.

Conclusion

We can use the enumerate environment and customize the labels to create both simple and nested itemized lists with letters.
