I want to write a reference with the bullet numbering of the form: [1] For example,

[1] Drucke, D., 1992, Reflection Properties of Curves and Surfaces, Mathematics Magazine, v.65, p.147.

is a reference in my paper. I am currently using the following code: 

\begin{enumerate}
\item Drucke, D., 1992, Reflection Properties of Curves and Surfaces, Mathematics Magazine, v.65, p.147.
 \end{enumerate}

As a consequence, I am getting the following output:

  1. Drucke, D., 1992, Reflection Properties of Curves and Surfaces, Mathematics Magazine, v.65, p.147.

Is it possible to achieve 1 instead of 1. in a list?

Update 1 The code snippet seems to works partially: 

\begin{enumerate}
\item [[ 1]] Drucke, D., 1992, Reflection Properties of Curves and Surfaces, Mathematics Magazine, v.65, p.147.
\end{document}

Output: enter image description here

Any improvements, will be extremely helpful...

  • Could you clarify your question... there seems to be a difference between what you post you want and what the image displays of what you want. – Werner Jun 16 '16 at 19:48

    I want to put square brackets around the number. Like [1] instead of 1. I'd included it while writing the question, but somehow it disappeared. – Student Jun 16 '16 at 19:52

This, for example, using the enumerate package: 

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{enumerate,xcolor}
\begin{document}
\begin{enumerate}[{\color{red} 1 }] % notice the space after "1"
    \item One
    \item Two
\end{enumerate}

\end{document}

List with red numbers

and \begin{enumerate}[{[1]}] will produce

List with brackets

You can see the documentation with texdoc enumerate.
