Latex numbering

Question

I want to create list like attached pic

I try this command

\begin{enumerate}
\item xxx
\begin{enumerate}
\item A
\item B
\end{enumerate}
\begin{enumerate}
\item yy
\end{enumerate}
 \end{enumerate}

But output is different. How to fix that?

I'd suggest you use the enumitem package. Using \item [Xxx] will get you the first level list. For the second level list you can use \begin{enumerate}[label=\arabic*] and for subsequent lists where you want the numbering to continue you need to indicate that the numbering is to continue: \begin{enumerate}[label=\arabic*, resume*]. — Peter Grill, Feb 04 '22 at 05:59
For future reference, while code snippets are useful in explanations, it is always best to compose a fully compilable MWE that illustrates the problem including the \documentclass and the appropriate packages so that those trying to help don't have to recreate it. A particular solution is often dependent on the packages that you are using. — Peter Grill, Feb 04 '22 at 06:01
Not sure if you intend the XXX/YYY/ZZZ to be item-like aligned or normal-text-like aligned, but in the latter case duplicate of enumerate - Resuming a list - TeX - LaTeX Stack Exchange — user202729, Feb 04 '22 at 06:07

Possible solution:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\begin{document}
\begin{description}[nosep]
\item[xxx]   \mbox{}
    \begin{enumerate}
    \item A
    \item B
    \item C
    \end{enumerate}
\item[yy]   \mbox{}
    \begin{enumerate}[resume]
    \item D
    \item E
    \end{enumerate}
\item[yy]   \mbox{}
    \begin{enumerate}[resume]
    \item F
    \item G
    \item H
    \item I
    \end{enumerate}
\end{description}
\end{document}

But it can also be:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\begin{document}
\noindent%
xxx
    \begin{enumerate}
    \item A
    \item B
    \item C
    \end{enumerate}
yy
    \begin{enumerate}[resume]
    \item D
    \item E
    \end{enumerate}
zz

    \begin{enumerate}[resume]
    \item F
    \item G
    \item H
    \item I
    \end{enumerate}
\end{document}
