But my skills are not yet up to that. I have a solution below that is workable. However, I have done a little more exploring with the description options (right-clicking or Alt A 1). Not all of them seem to work as they should. In particular, the options which require a \command don't seem to work. Am I missing something? Anthony Can you post an MWE of a command that you don't think is working as expected? Paul Hi Paul, I have attached an MWE and its output. I think that I do not have a full grasp of the options and their correct use. To use a \command inside description, do I need to use it only in \setlist in my Preamble.
