[Tex/LaTex] Bibliography with enumerate

#enumeratebibliographies

I have the following MWE

\documentclass[12pt, A4paper]{article}

\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{wrapfig}
\usepackage{lscape}
\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage{bm}
\usepackage{epstopdf}
\usepackage[nodayofweek]{datetime}
\usepackage{setspace}
\usepackage[left=2cm, right=2cm, top=2cm,bottom=2cm]{geometry}

\newcommand{\overbar}[1]{\mkern 1.5mu\overline{\mkern-1.5mu#1\mkern-1.5mu}\mkern 1.5mu}

\begin{document}

\section{References}

\begin{enumerate}

\end{enumerate}

\end{document}

The above is a bibliography for a paper. When I use enumerate each reference is marked as 1. and so on. I would like to have [1] instead. I know that I can reach that result by using an appropriate style and bibtex. However, I need to use enumerate. Any hint about? Thanks in advance

Best Answer

If you need to use enumerate, you can use a package like enumerate or enumitem to manipulate enumerate, e.g.:

\documentclass[12pt, A4paper]{article}
\usepackage[left=2cm, right=2cm, top=2cm,bottom=2cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{enumitem}

\begin{document}

\section{References}

\begin{enumerate}[{label=[\arabic{*}]}]

\item Autor, David, David Dorn, Gordon Hanson, and Kaveh Majlesi (2016). ``A Note on the Effect of Rising Trade Exposure on the 2016 Presidential Election.'' Mimeo, MIT Department of Economics.

\item Baldwin, Richard (2016). \emph{The Great Convergence. Information Technology and the New Globalization}. Cambridge: Harvard University Press.

\item Baumeister, Roy F. and Mark R. Leary (1995). ``The Need to Belong: Desire for Interpersonal Attachments as a Fundamental Human Motivation''. \emph{Psychological Bulletin}, 117:497-529.

\item Bavetta, Sebastiano and Francesco Guala, (2003). ``Autonomy Freedom and Deliberation''. \emph{Journal of Theoretical Politics}, 15: 423-443.

\end{enumerate}

\end{document}

If you only want a handmade bibliography you can use thebibliography:

\documentclass[12pt, A4paper]{article}
\usepackage[left=2cm, right=2cm, top=2cm,bottom=2cm]{geometry}

\begin{document}

\begin{thebibliography}{9}% 9 is a pattern for the item labels
\bibitem{Autor2016} Autor, David, David Dorn, Gordon Hanson, and Kaveh Majlesi (2016). ``A Note on the Effect of Rising Trade Exposure on the 2016 Presidential Election.'' Mimeo, MIT Department of Economics.

\bibitem{Baldwin2016} Baldwin, Richard (2016). \emph{The Great Convergence. Information Technology and the New Globalization}. Cambridge: Harvard University Press.

\bibitem{Baumeister1995} Baumeister, Roy F. and Mark R. Leary (1995). ``The Need to Belong: Desire for Interpersonal Attachments as a Fundamental Human Motivation''. \emph{Psychological Bulletin}, 117:497-529.

\bibitem{Bavetta2003} Bavetta, Sebastiano and Francesco Guala, (2003). ``Autonomy Freedom and Deliberation''. \emph{Journal of Theoretical Politics}, 15: 423-443.

\end{thebibliography}

[Tex/LaTex] Enumerate with Properties

You can use for example the enumitem package to customize the enumerate environment.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\begin{document}
\begin{enumerate}[label=Property \arabic*.,itemindent=*]
  \item First
  \item Second
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}

enumitem also allows you to define your own list environment:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\newlist{Properties}{enumerate}{2}
\setlist[Properties]{label=Property \arabic*.,itemindent=*}
\begin{document}
\begin{Properties}
  \item First
  \item Second
\end{Properties}
\end{document}

enter image description here

Setting the itemindent to * automatically calculates the necessary width for the entire label. Without this the label will run into the left margin.

If an item text is too long to fit on one line, the next line will be indented a little from the left margin:

enter image description here

If you want this second line to be aligned with the start of the item text, use leftmargin=* instead of itemindent=*. If you want the second line to not be indented, use leftmargin=0pt in addition to itemindent=*. The following example sums this up:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{showframe}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\begin{document}
Just changing the label:
\begin{enumerate}[label=Property \arabic*.]
  \item First, with a very long text that should extend to the next line if I'm not very  much mistaken. 
  \item Second. 
\end{enumerate}

\hrule\medskip

With \verb|itemindent=*|:
\begin{enumerate}[label=Property \arabic*.,itemindent=*]
  \item First, with a very long text that should extend to the next line if I'm not very  much mistaken. 
  \item Second. 
\end{enumerate}

\hrule\medskip

With \verb|leftmargin=*|:
\begin{enumerate}[label=Property \arabic*.,leftmargin=*]
  \item First, with a very long text that should extend to the next line if I'm not very  much mistaken. 
  \item Second. 
\end{enumerate}

\hrule\medskip

With \verb|itemindent=*,leftmargin=0pt|:
\begin{enumerate}[label=Property \arabic*.,itemindent=*,leftmargin=0pt]
  \item First, with a very long text that should extend to the next line if I'm not very  much mistaken. 
  \item Second. 
\end{enumerate}

\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Problems with colorbox in Enumerate Environment

A box (here, color box) will not break across lines. You can take shelter inside a parbox for this:

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb,amsfonts}
\usepackage{color,linegoal}

\definecolor{SolutionColor}{gray}{0.85}

\begin{document}

Choose all correct statements.
\begin{enumerate}
\item \colorbox{SolutionColor}{\parbox[t]{\linegoal}{\bfseries Here is a true sentence.}}
\item \colorbox{SolutionColor}{\parbox[t]{\linegoal}{\bfseries If the rank of a $\boldsymbol{2 \times 2}$ matrix $\boldsymbol{A}$ is 1, then one can always find a vector $\boldsymbol{\mathbf{b} \in \mathbb{R}^2}$ so that $\boldsymbol{A \mathbf{x} = \mathbf{b}}$ does not have a solution.}}
\end{enumerate}

Choose all correct statements.
\begin{enumerate}
\item \colorbox{SolutionColor}{\parbox[t]{\linegoal}{\bfseries Here is a true sentence.}}
\item \colorbox{SolutionColor}{\parbox[t]{\linegoal}{\bfseries If the rank of a $\boldsymbol{2 \times 2}$ matrix $\boldsymbol{A}$ is 1, then one can always find a vector $\boldsymbol{\mathbf{b} \in \mathbb{R}^2}$ \par so that $\boldsymbol{A \mathbf{x} = \mathbf{b}}$ does not have a solution.}}
\end{enumerate}
