I've just seen this thread, and decided to chime in. I think that the situation is fine: such deep nesting of lists should be _actively discouraged_ IMHO. While list support in LaTeX is IMO suboptimal (to say the least), and enumitem is a must for me in most of my documents, four levels of nesting is even too many (by a factor of 2). My opinion is that base LaTeX should limit the nesting to two levels, and a special package (like enumitem) should be needed to cater for those really strange documents that need more. (Yes, they do exist, but are very rare I believe.) > Rasmus Best, -- Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science Adam Mickiewicz University
