Hi, is it possible to use a single letter to start an
ordered list item? Such as
a) first
b) second?
Thanks

No, not yet. Although sometimes I would like have single letter
lists.
The question would be: What to do when we reach z)?

Simply print out a message saying we have reached maximum
number of items possible? I guess usually we don't need to
count to 'z' for such kind of lists.

Aloha all,
Here is an error message raised with a 27 item list in LaTeX:
ERROR: LaTeX Error: Counter too large.
--- TeX said ---
See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type H <return> for immediate help.
...
l.31 \item ?
--- HELP ---
1. Some object that is numbered with letters, probably an item in a
enumerated list, has received a number greater than 26. Either you're
making a very long list or you've been resetting counter values.
2. Footnotes are being ``numbered'' with letters or footnote symbols
and LaTeX has run out of letters or symbols. This is probably caused
by too many \thanks commands.
All the best,
Tom

Okay, so at least when it comes to LaTeX 26 items are the limit. I
have the feeling to remember that there was something with letters as
numbered lists that made me skip the idea, but can't remember :|
I'l see if it will work out and if no one else sees a problem provide
a patch.
