While this is a decent guide, I find that being skillful in latex comes from memorizing many highly specific commands. I spend most of my time googling for things such as "How to use (a), (b), (c) for enumerating lists".

- chairmanwow 9y agoTrue enough. But I agree with OP in that being "good" with LaTeX is essentially just memorizing lots of commands. I've never written a document without having to constantly search for specific commands.

- clishem 9y agoTo answer your example question: \usepackage[shortlabels]{enumitem} Then you can simply use: \begin{enumerate}[(a)] \item The first item \item The second item \item The third etc \end{enumerate} Other label types are very intuitive this way. I could have pulled this from an old document I made, no memorizing neccesary. It is also very easy to find using a search engine, as I did in this case: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/208696/using-enumerate https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/208696/using-enumera...
