#enumeratelists
I'm using a nested list, where the outer items should be with numerals and the inner ones with numbers. I'm trying this with the package enumerate:
\begin{enumerate}[I]
\item numeral I. This is ok.
\begin{enumerate}
\item I expect this to be "1", but it is "a)"
\end{enumerate}
\end{enumerate}
How can I make the inner item to be a number and not a letter?
The backref option to hyperref can take a value. By default it is section, but this does not seem to be giving the correct output, as it picks up the item number instead inside an enumerate. On the other hand you are requesting a page ref, and passing the page option does work:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[backref=page]{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\begin{enumerate}
\item A
\item B
\item C~\cite{art}
\end{enumerate}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{test}
\end{document}
with test.bib
@Article{art,
author = {Author, A. N.},
title = {On\dots},
journal = {J. Jour.},
year = 2004
}
Just add a \par or blank line leaving the nested enumerate environment.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{ragged2e}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\begin{document}
\section{Nested list with sloppypar}
\begin{enumerate}
\item \begin{sloppypar}\justifying\hyphenrules{nohyphenation}Blah blah blah.\end{sloppypar}
\begin{enumerate}
\item \begin{sloppypar}\justifying\hyphenrules{nohyphenation}Blah blah blah.\end{sloppypar}
\item \begin{sloppypar}\justifying\hyphenrules{nohyphenation}Blah blah blah.\end{sloppypar}
\end{enumerate}\par % <----- ADDED PAR IS HERE
\item \begin{sloppypar}\justifying\hyphenrules{nohyphenation}Blah blah blah.\end{sloppypar}
\begin{enumerate}
\item \begin{sloppypar}\justifying\hyphenrules{nohyphenation}Blah blah blah.\end{sloppypar}
\item \begin{sloppypar}\justifying\hyphenrules{nohyphenation}Blah blah blah.\end{sloppypar}
\end{enumerate}
\end{enumerate}
\section{Nested list without sloppypar}
\begin{enumerate}
\item Blah blah blah.
\begin{enumerate}
\item Blah blah blah.
\item Blah blah blah.
\end{enumerate}
\item Blah blah blah.
\begin{enumerate}
\item Blah blah blah.
\item Blah blah blah.
\end{enumerate}
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}
As I tell the OP in the comments below, I cannot give a definitive answer as to why the \par is needed. But the symptom of the original MWE gave the appearance of a misinterpreted paragraph/group issue. So it was a natural first guess, and in this case, it proved sufficient.
Alternately, the nested enumerate could be enclosed in its own group, as follows:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{ragged2e}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\begin{document}
\section{Nested list with sloppypar}
\begin{enumerate}
\item \begin{sloppypar}\justifying\hyphenrules{nohyphenation}Blah blah blah.\end{sloppypar}
{\begin{enumerate}
\item \begin{sloppypar}\justifying\hyphenrules{nohyphenation}Blah blah blah.\end{sloppypar}
\item \begin{sloppypar}\justifying\hyphenrules{nohyphenation}Blah blah blah.\end{sloppypar}
\end{enumerate}}
\item \begin{sloppypar}\justifying\hyphenrules{nohyphenation}Blah blah blah.\end{sloppypar}
\begin{enumerate}
\item \begin{sloppypar}\justifying\hyphenrules{nohyphenation}Blah blah blah.\end{sloppypar}
\item \begin{sloppypar}\justifying\hyphenrules{nohyphenation}Blah blah blah.\end{sloppypar}
\end{enumerate}
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}
