Automatically number a description list

Question

Possible Duplicate:
Enumerated description list

I would basically like to produce some kind of combination of an enumerate and a description environment. Manually

\begin{description}
\item[1. Item bla] \hfill \\
 Some text bla bla
\item[2. Item bla] \hfill \\
 Some more text bla bla
\end{description}

pretty much gives what I want. Each item should contain a counter together with a description (both equally formatted, e.g. bold) and some associated text starting on the next line. So actually something like (sub)section heading plus text. But with separate counters and indentation etc.

Is there some nice package that will produce such formatting? Or would I need to somehow define a custom list structure?

Answer 1

From an earlier question, try enumitem. In the example below, the pifont package is only needed for the first example.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\usepackage{pifont}
\begin{document}
\begin{itemize}[label=\ding{212}]
\item First
\item Second
\end{itemize}
\newcommand\litem[1]{\item{\bfseries #1,\\}}
\begin{enumerate}
\litem{Lo primero que ten\'{\i}a el Quijote} lanza en astillero,
\litem{Lo segundo} adarna antigua,
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}
