I am trying to chnage the font style (to bold) for the item itself and not just the label

Below are the lines that I am using:

\setlist[enumerate]{font=\bfseries, wide=\parindent, noitemsep, topsep=0pt}
\setlist[itemize]{font=\bfseries, wide=\parindent, noitemsep, topsep=0pt}

however these lines change the label only and not the item itself.

Thanks for the help

You can add the option before=\bfseries in your \setlists.

(This requires loading the package enumitem, which you evidently did already.)

If you want this option to only apply to a certain level, you can specify this in the \setlist. You can reset the font for deeper levels the same way. For example

\setlist[itemize, 1]{before=\bfseries}
\setlist[itemize, 2]{before=\normalfont}

would make only the first level of itemize lists bold.

  • That worked thank you, however I have a nested list and I wanted just level 1 to bf while level 2 shoud not be bolded. Can I control the level of the item to be bolded.

  • You can. See the addition to my answer.

  • Is the instruction \setlist[itemize, 2]{before=\normalfont} needed?

    @Mico, yes. Since the second level of a list resides inside the first one, all the formatting of the first level applies to the second one as well; we have to overrule it.

You could load the etoolbox package and execute

\AtBeginEnvironment{enumerate}{\bfseries}
\AtBeginEnvironment{itemize}{\bfseries}

in the preamble. This method works whether or not the enumitem-related code is present as well.
