As an addendum to Zarko's answer:
If I take your code and add \begin{document}
and \end{document}
to it and try to compile it, I, as expected, receive multiple error messages. As soon as your compiling process results in error messages, do not look at the output, but fix them first. This is especially important, since TeX only tries to recover enough to syntax check more of the file after an error, it does not try to make sensible output after an error. So, even if you get something that on first glance resembles a pdf file, there can still be issues with it.
You can take a look at the error messages, if you click on the button with the red rectangle and a number inside of it. As long as there is a red rectangle, there are error messages.

Let's take a look at the error messages:
! Missing $ inserted. l.25 ...them: https://www.math.uh.edu/~torok/math_
You get this error message since the url contains a _
. Since you can't use _
in normal text, latex assumes, you actually wanted to use math mode. (There, you can use _
for subscripts, as for example in $x_{y}$
) Since you do not want any math in this situation, but want to display a url, load the xurl
package and place the url inside of the \url
command. Repeat for all other urls in your document.
Having done the above mentioned changes, latex now complains about a missing \end{enumerate}
, so let's add this line right before \end{document}
.
Having added this line, we still receive an error message:
Something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item.
This is caused by latex expecting items of an enumerate list being entered in the following general format:
\begin{enumerate}
\item text that belongs to the first item
\item text that belongs to the second item
\end{enumerate}
Comparing this general scheme to your code, reveals that you never used the \item
command. In order to correct the syntax in your enumerate
environment, place \item
before each \textbf...
and remove all occurences of \\ \\
and \newline
as they are not needed here.
Having done all thouse changes, we end up with a code, that finally compiles without any error messages:

\end{enumerate}
\end{document}

Finally, let's take a look at the output. Your use of \textbf
in all items and you mentioning having tried itemize
in your question, makes me guess, you could, in fact, be interested in an unnumbered, description-like list. If that's the case, you could use description
instead of enumerate
and \item[CTAN (Comprehensive TeX Archive Network)]
and the like instead of \item \textbf{CTAN (Comprehensive TeX Archive Network)}
. If you also wish to change the font of the urls to match the usual text font, you can add \urlstyle{same}
to the preamble:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fullpage}
%\usepackage{graphicx} % not related to this example
%\usepackage{xcolor} % not related to this example
%\usepackage{fancyhdr} % not related to this example
%\usepackage{enumitem} % not needed for the default enumerate environment
%\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} % default in an up to date installation
\usepackage{xurl}
\urlstyle{same}

If you want linebreaks in urls to only occur at certain places such as at a .
or a \
, you could use the url
package instead of xurl
. If you want hyperlinks, use the hyperref
package instead. (The before mentioned \url
and \urlstyle{same}
commands work with all three packages.)
If you want to further customize the look of the list, e.g. the indentation of the second and following lines of an \item
, the vertical white space between adjacent items or the space between the bold and the following text, take a look at the enumitem
package and its numerous options.
\begin{document}
,\end{enumerate}
and commands\item
which should be present in (any) lista. Please, correct it so, that we can copy it and test in our computers as it is.
