Memoir extensions
The memoir class, as usual, has extended the functionality of the first two
of the above lists. The functionality is based on the enumerate package. If
you need even more options, you may look to the paralist package to solve
your problems.
The new things you can do revolve mostly around list spacing and the
symbols used before each item. To remove all inter-item space, put the
\tightlists command anywhere before your lists. (The \defaultlists
command will return things to normal.) Following are some of the things
you can do with the new enumerate and itemize environments.

Some enumerate environments


A1 This env. has an optional argument to change the look of it.
A2 The argument is [{A}1].
A3 The text in the curly brackets is included as is. (It can be anything.)
A4 The ‘1’ is the index of the item. Other options are available. . .
i Index options are: [1] (default), [i],[I],[A]
ii 1 goes 1,2,3,4,. . .
iii i goes i,ii,iii,iv,. . .
iv I goes I,II,III,IV,. . .
v A goes A,B,C,D,. . .

Some itemize environments


• Memoir lets you adjust the spacing of your lists individually.
• This list contains a \firmlist command, which reduces some of the
inter-item spacing.

§ Option arguments for itemize allow you to customise the bullet for
each item.

§ You probably don’t want to use this list as an example.

$ This list contains a \tightlist command, which removes all inter-


item space.
$ These spacing commands also work in enumerate.
$ You can put anything you want for the bullet.
