[Tex/LaTex] Enumeration for “regular” paragraphs

Question

I would like to have enumerated paragraphs using the document's default paragraph layout. Currently, I achieve this using manual enumerations using the code listed below.

How can I get the same result, but automating the enumeration?

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}

(1) \lipsum[1]

(2) \lipsum[1]

(3) \lipsum[1]

\end{document}

Answer 1

Much simpler with the use of enumitem:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\usepackage[shortlabels]{enumitem}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}

\begin{enumerate}[(1),wide, nosep]

\item \lipsum[1]

\item \lipsum[2]

\item \lipsum[3]

\end{enumerate}

\end{document}
