I want to suspend and resume an enumerated list, with Roman numerals. I am using the enumerate and mdwlist packages and have the following:
\begin{enumerate}[I]
\item Item
\item Item
\suspend{enumerate}
Text in between...
\resume{enumerate}
\item Item
\item Item
\end{enumerate}
But the way it comes out is that the first two items (before suspending) are numbered I and II (as desired), and the second two items (after resuming) are numbered 3 and 4. How do I get those to be numbered III and IV?

As the documentation of
mdwlist
shows, you need to repeat the optional argument toenumerate
in this situation; it needs a couple of extra level of brackets:Alternatively you can used the
enumitem
package with theshortlabels
option to get the same syntax for specifying labels inenumerate
and use itsresume*
option for the resumed list.
