#enumeratelistsstrikeout
I would like to have a simple enumerated list like
\begin{enumerate}
\item First item
\item Second item
\end{enumerate}
where I strike through "(1)" and "(2)" but not the text "First item" and "Second item". Would that be possible?
Update: could I have only (1) stroke-through but not (2)?
This can easily be done using the enumitem package, for example:
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\begin{document}
\begin{enumerate}
\item One
\item Two
\end{enumerate}
Some text
\begin{enumerate}[resume]
\item Three
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}
Output:
Alternatively, the package mdwlist provides the commands \suspend and \resume for temporarily ending a list and restarting it.
To get enumerated and itemized lists that have the same amounts of left-hand and right-hand indentation, I'd recommend using the enumitem package -- which provides many extensions to and improvements over LaTeX's list environments -- and its leftmargin and rightmargin options. The following MWE illustrates this.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[margin=3cm]{geometry} % per the example in your code
\usepackage{lipsum} % for filler text
\usepackage{enumitem}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1] % filler text
\begin{enumerate}[leftmargin=2cm,rightmargin=2cm]
\item \lipsum[2]
\end{enumerate}
\lipsum[3]
\begin{itemize}[leftmargin=1cm,rightmargin=1cm]
\item \lipsum[4]
\end{itemize}
\end{document}
Added material after receiving a comment from the OP. I'm afraid I'm not quite sure about the meaning of the question
But how do I make the indentations of the \item the same as the original text?
The new MWE below provides four separate option settings for shaping the itemized (or, equivalently, enumerated) list items. Hopefully, one of these settings meets your needs.
\documentclass{article}
% some short filler text, ca. 3 lines long
\newcommand{\shortfiller}{Nam dui ligula, fringilla a, euismod sodales, sollicitudin vel, wisi. Morbi auctor lorem non justo. Nam lacus libero, pretium at, obortis vitae, ultricies et, tellus. Donec aliquet, tortor sed accumsan bibendum, erat ligula aliquet magna.}
\usepackage{fancyvrb}
\usepackage[margin=3cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\begin{document}
\DefineShortVerb{\|}
\emph{``Normal'' text paragraph.} \shortfiller
%% Option 1
\begin{enumerate}[leftmargin=2cm, rightmargin=2cm]
\item \emph{Settings:} |[leftmargin=2cm, rightmargin=2cm]|.
\shortfiller
\end{enumerate}
\emph{``Normal'' text paragraph.} \shortfiller
%% Option 2
\begin{enumerate}[resume, wide=2cm, leftmargin=2cm, rightmargin=2cm]
\item \emph{Settings:} |[wide=2cm, leftmargin=2cm, rightmargin=2cm]|.
\shortfiller
\end{enumerate}
\emph{``Normal'' text paragraph.} \shortfiller
%% Option 3
\begin{enumerate}[resume, wide=\parindent, leftmargin=\parindent, rightmargin=\parindent]
\item \emph{Settings:} |[wide=\parindent, leftmargin=\parindent, rightmargin=\parindent]|.
\shortfiller
\end{enumerate}
\emph{``Normal'' text paragraph.} \shortfiller
%% Option 4
\begin{enumerate}[resume, wide=\parindent]
\item \emph{Setting in this and the following item:} |[wide=\parindent]|.
\shortfiller
\item \shortfiller
\end{enumerate}
\emph{``Normal'' text paragraph.} \shortfiller
\end{document}
Suppose the final setting of the list items is what you're looking for. If you want this setting to apply uniformly to all enumerated and itemized lists, you should insert the command
\setlist{wide=\parindent}
in your document's preamble, immediately after the \usepackage{enumitem} instruction.
