### Fancy enumeration lists

Suppose you want your top-level `enumerate`s to be labelled 'I/', 'II/', ..., then give these commands:

       \renewcommand{\theenumi}{\Roman{enumi}}
       \renewcommand{\labelenumi}{\theenumi/}

The possible styles of numbering are given in Section 6.3 of Lamport's book (see TeX-related books). Both `\theenumi` and `\labelenumi` must be changed, since `\theenumi` is used in cross-references to the list.

For lower level `enumerate`s, replace `enumi` by `enumii`, `enumiii` or `enumiv`, according to the level. If your label is much larger than the default, you should also change `\leftmargini`, `\leftmarginii`, etc.

If you're running LaTeX2e, the enumerate.sty package offers similar facilities. Using it, the example above would be achieved simply by starting the enumeration `\begin{enumerate}[I/]`.
