Normally you use the \enumerate command in LaTeX to create enumerated lists like this:
- I
- use
- lots
- of
- space!
If you prefer your enumeration “inline”, you could do that:
...
\newcommand{\inlineEnum}[1]{
\ifcsname c@#1\endcsname
\addtocounter{#1}{1}
\textbf{\arabic{#1})~}
\else
\newcounter{#1}
\setcounter{#1}{1}
\textbf{\arabic{#1})~}
\fi
}
...
\begin{document}
\inlineEnum{counter} Here is some text.
\inlineEnum{counter} Here is some more text.
\inlineEnum{counter} And another sentence!
...
\end{document}
Much better:
…
- Here is some text. 2) Here is some more text. 3) And another sentence!
