I am having trouble doing deep enumeration, that is: 1., then 1.1., then 1.1.1., ...

I manage to do this up until the fourth level: 1.1.1.1.

However, the fifth level fails, and I don't understand why.

My code is:

\renewcommand{\labelenumii}{\theenumii}
\renewcommand{\labelenumiii}{\theenumiii}
\renewcommand{\labelenumiv}{\theenumiv}
\renewcommand{\labelenumv}{\theenumv}
\renewcommand{\theenumii}{\theenumi.\arabic{enumii}.}
\renewcommand{\theenumiii}{\theenumii\arabic{enumiii}.}
\renewcommand{\theenumiv}{\theenumiii\arabic{enumiv}.}
\renewcommand{\theenumv}{\theenumiv\arabic{enumv}.}

But the fifth level fails. The error is

Command labelenumv undefined

Why is this happening on the fifth level but not on the fourth?

I tried labelenumiiiii, but it also did not work, and I am assuming the syntax labelenumv is the correct syntax.

By default, there are only 4 levels. – hair-splitter Nov 03 '21 at 10:10
Is there a way or a package which allows more? – TheEmeritus Nov 03 '21 at 10:11
Yes, for example with \newlist command of enumitem package. – hair-splitter Nov 03 '21 at 10:17

@schtandard nearly, but the enumeration there does not include previous enumerations from upper levels. That is, in a deep level I want the enumeration to be 1.1.2.1.4. for example and not just 4. – TheEmeritus Nov 03 '21 at 11:37
@TheEmeritus Setting the label is a different issue from creating the list. For prepending the parent label, use label*= instead of label=. – schtandard Nov 03 '21 at 12:59
