Enumerate and numbering

Question

We are using the enumerate in the following form

\begin{enumerate}[leftmargin=*,label=\bfseries${\textbf{{C}}}_\arabic*$.]

\item 

\end{enumerate}

Which produces out-put as C_1, C_2, ...

But we want the out-put as C_8, C_9, ...

How can we do it?

Answer 1

to continue the numbering from a previous list you can add resume in the options. To set the starting number add the option start=<integer> (see section 3.4 of the enumitem manual, texdoc enumitem)
