LyX ⇒ enumitem | Long Lists

[auvajs]

Code: Select all

\usepackage{enumitem}
\setenumerate{label=\arabic*}
\setenumerate[2]{label=\alph*)}

I use enumitem for lists as quoted. In the case of letters (\alph*) it prints a), b), c) etc. till z). Then it ends with error, no more elements can't be added to the list. However I want to make a list ordered by litters with more than 26 elements. How to do this?

I imagine that after 26 letters of the alphabet are used, obtions aa), ab), ac).. az), ba), bb), bc) etc. etc. follow. Then if a very long list (more than 26^2 elements), aaa), aab), aac) etc. should follow.

Use the package alphalph from the oberdiek bundle.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[]{article}
\usepackage{alphalph}
\usepackage{enumitem}

\makeatletter
\def\enumalphalphcnt#1{\expandafter\@enumalphalphcnt\csname c@#1\endcsname}
\def\@enumalphalphcnt#1{\alphalph{#1}}
\makeatother
\AddEnumerateCounter{\enumalphalphcnt}{\@enumalphalphcnt}{aa}
\setenumerate{label=\arabic*}
\setenumerate[2]{label=\enumalphalphcnt*)}
\begin{document}
\begin{enumerate}
\item foo
\item bar
\item next level
\begin{enumerate}
\item foo \item bar \item foo
\item bar \item foo \item bar
\item foo \item bar \item foo
\item bar \item foo \item bar
\item foo \item bar \item foo
\item bar \item foo \item bar
\item foo \item bar \item foo
\item bar \item foo \item bar
\item foo \item bar \item foo
\item bar \item foo \item bar
\item foo \item bar \item foo
\item bar \item foo \item bar
\item foo \item bar \item foo
\item bar \item foo \item bar
\item foo \item bar \item foo
\item bar \item foo \item bar
\end{enumerate}
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}
