I use enumitem
lists all the time for unnumbered lists, bulleted lists, checkboxes, etc, and I know that [label=\arabic*]
changes the default numbering to give me `regular' numbers. What I would like to know is: what are all of the options for numbered lists? (meaning, the alternatives to \arabic*
?) I can't find a list of the available preset numbering schema. (Also, if I wanted to create my own ordered numberlist, how would I do it?)

There are quite a few ways in which you can format your numbered lists. In addition to arabic, there are also roman numbers (\roman
and \Roman
) and letters (\alph
and \Alph
). The manual has many more complex examples (e.g. combining various types, etc.)
Documentation should come standard with your LaTeX distribution. That said, there's always CTAN, the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network. In your case: http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/enumitem/enumitem.pdf
\alph
,\Alph
,\arabic
,\roman
and\Roman
? More complex examples are in the friendly manual.
