\begin{list}{label}{spacing} \item First item \item Second item . . . \end{list}
The {label}
argument specifies how items should be labelled.
This argument is a piece of text that is inserted in a box to form the
label. This argument can and usually does contain other LaTeX commands.
The {spacing}
argument contains commands to change the spacing
parameters for the list. This argument will most often be null, i.e.,
{}
. This will select all default spacing which should suffice
for most cases.
