List items with custom markers in LaTeX

List items with custom markers in LaTeX

[David Sanson]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1219 bytes --]

Does anyone have a filter or some other trick for producing lists with 
custom markers? For example, I'd like to transform something like this:

P1.  All men are mortal.
P2. Socrates is a man.
C.  Socrates is mortal.

into an itemized list like this:

\begin{itemize}
\item[P1]
All men are mortal.
\item[P2]
Socrates is a man.
\item[C]
Scorates is mortal.
\end{itemize}

The best solution I've come up with is to format the list as a definition 
list, convert it to LaTeX, and replace the definition environment with the 
itemize environment. I suppose I could instead redefine the definition list 
environment, but that seems a bit heavy-handed.

I'd use a definition list, myself.

I wonder if it would make sense to generalize example lists
so that you could specify the marker instead of letting
it be determined automatically?

Then you could do

(@=P1). All men are mortal.
(@=P2). Socrates is a  man.
(@=C).  Socrates is mortal.

And then refer back later to premise (@P2).

I would use such a feature a fair bit. So it has my vote!

Maybe someone should put an enhancement request on the
github tracker.  We could consider alternative syntaxes,
too, like

    (@ P1)
    (@:P1)
    (@[P1])
