Is there some way to add text between the items of an enumerate or itemize environment

Question

The title says it all. This does not seem possible with a regular enumerate or itemize enviroment. Do you need to use a special/custom environment for this, or am I missing something?

I thought this might be a duplicate, but did a search and did not find anything.

Is this relevant? Intertext like command in enumerate environment? Or are you looking for putting the same text automatically between all items? — Mike Renfro, May 08 '14 at 20:58
@MikeRenfro Do the methods given in that question also work for itemize? A general solution would be good. If so, then this is a dupe of that question. — Faheem Mitha, May 08 '14 at 21:01
Should be (haven't tested). If not, I'll rescind my close vote. — Mike Renfro, May 08 '14 at 21:02
Worst case, Harish's comment on the accepted answer should almost certainly work for any list-like environment. — Mike Renfro, May 08 '14 at 21:03

If I understand well what you want, the resume or resume* options to enumerate or itemize environments, defined in the enumitem package let you interrupt temporarily such an environment to insert some text. Usage:

\begin{enumerate}[options…]
    ……
\end{enumerate}
 Some text…
\begin{enumerate}[resume]
    ……
\end{enumerate}

The resume* option uses the options of the previous list. You may change the restarting index with [resume, start=n].

The package also defines a notion of series of lists. See the details in § 3.4 & 3.5 of the documentation.
