[Tex/LaTex] Enumerated list with headings / titles

Question

I need an enumerated list that has titles like the description environment. I'v looked at the enumitem package but I'm not sure if / how I can use it for the desired effect. I want the list to look like this:

1. Apples
   Apples are red, and contain iron.
2. Bananans
   Bananas are yellow and contain potassium.

Answer 1

You can create a command that acts like \item[description title]:

\newcommand\descitem[1]{\item{\bfseries #1}\\}

You can remove the \\ if you don’t want a line break. The style of the title is easy to change.

Your enumerate environment will look like:

\begin{enumerate}
  \descitem{Apples} Apples are red, and contain iron.
  \descitem{Bananas} Bananas are yellow and contain potassium.
\end{enumerate}
