[Tex/LaTex] Enumitem: using the resume command in enumerate

enumitemlists

\documentclass[11pt, letter]{article}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\begin{document}
\begin{enumerate}[label = \arabic*]
  \item
  \item
\end{enumerate}
\begin{enumerate}[resume]
  \item
  \item
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}

enter image description here

Why is resume adding . now? If I could, I would like to add . to the first enumerate too but isn't resume supposed to follow suit exactly?

So I also need \arabic*. for the period with the first list.

Best Answer

use resume*, a bit anoying yes, it has something to do with backwards compatibility with earlier enumitem versions

resume continues from the number it got to last time, but using the default formatting! The format is stored but only activated using resume*
