Mom doesn't do this natively, but defining a macro like the following before invoking LIST does the trick. .eo .de SUBLIST . rr sublist-digit . nr headlist-digit \n[#ENUMERATOR\n[#DEPTH]] . nr sublist-digit -1 1 . ds item-number \n[headlist-digit].\En+[sublist-digit].\" . LIST USER \*[item-number] .. .ec To reproduce your example, here's the usage: .LIST DIGIT .ITEM First item .SUBLIST .ITEM First sub-item of the first list .ITEM Second sub-item of the first list .LIST back .ITEM Second item .SUBLIST .ITEM First sub-item of the second list .ITEM Second sub-item of the second list .QUIT_LISTS Don't know if that's what you consider easy, but it's a solution. :) Things would get a bit more complicated if you wanted deeper levels of nesting that followed the same scheme. -- Peter Schaffter
