Enumerate "P#number" instead of "#number"

Question

About the \begin{enumerate} list environment, when I use item, instead of having this in my pdf document

1.

3.

4.

I would like to display the following

P1

P2

P3

P4

Where P is a single character. How can I do that please?

You can follow some of the guidelines in Using lower-case roman numerals in enumerate lists which shows ways to change the labelling using enumerate, enumitem and no packages at all. — Werner, Apr 20 '15 at 22:03

This can be easily done with enumitem and its label option. Since the letter P is to be followed by a arabic number, the label P\arabic* is used.

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}

\usepackage{enumitem}

\usepackage{fmtcount}

\begin{document}

\begin{enumerate}[label={\bfseries P\arabic*}]
\item First
\item Second
\item Third
\item Fourth
\end{enumerate}

Let's play around: 

\begin{enumerate}[label={\bfseries P\arabic*}]
\item \Ordinalstring{enumi}
\item \Ordinalstring{enumi}
\item \Ordinalstring{enumi}
\item \Ordinalstring{enumi}
\end{enumerate}

Hold on for a while... and resume

\begin{enumerate}[resume*]
\item \Ordinalstring{enumi}
\item \Ordinalstring{enumi}
\item \Ordinalstring{enumi}
\item \Ordinalstring{enumi}
\end{enumerate}


\end{document}

enter image description here

If you load enumitem with shortlabels options, you can use \begin{enumerate}[P1] to get the enumeration you want. — Manuel, Apr 21 '15 at 19:06
@Manuel: (+1) Yes, I am aware of that, but I wanted to show a more general approach. — , Apr 21 '15 at 19:33
