I create a

\begin{itemize}
    \item Item 1
    \item Item 2
\end{itemize}

% Appending this itemize to the itemize above.
\begin{itemize}
    \item Item 3
\end{itemize}

Is there a way to set a key-value pair to the first itemize so it can recognize the second itemize and append to it without starting a new list of bulletpoints? I am trying to make itemize more modular so I don't have all the bulletpoints on the same itemize section. I can add more to that itemize section in a separate file.

    Please clarify your specific problem or provide additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking. – Community Jan 07 '24 at 00:34

    An itemize-type list uses the same marker (say, \textbullet) for all items. Is there something particularly unusual about the marker you have in mind? Or are you maybe thinking of an enumerate-type list, whose list markers are arabic numbers (1, 2, ...), roman numbers (i, ii, ...), or alphabetic characters (a, b, ...)? – Mico Jan 07 '24 at 01:30

  • So you would like the output to be a single itemize list with three items in it? Do you know when you're definitely going to be done appending? Because the easiest approach would be to not have the \end{itemize}\begin{itemize} in the first place, and handle that elsewhere. Could you elaborate a bit more on why you want this to happen? – Teepeemm Jan 09 '24 at 02:47

For an itemize list it really doesn't matter because as pointed out in a comment, the same marker is used. However, it is quite simple to do this with an enumerate list.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{enumitem}

\begin{document}
\begin{enumerate}
    \item Item 1
    \item Item 2
\end{enumerate}


% Appending this itemize to the itemize above.
\begin{enumerate}[resume*]
    \item Item 3
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}

Using resume* versus resume ensures the same settings are used as with the previous list. See the enumitem package documentation for details.
