I am currently struggling with enumerating my numbered list with a
prefix. In org-mode I have
1. This
2. is
3. a
4. numbered
5. list
In my LaTeX export I like to have it look like
R1. This
R2. is
R3. a
R4. numbered
R5. list
In my latex-document I would do something like this:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{enumerate}
\begin{document}
\begin{enumerate}[{\bfseries R1.}]
\item This
\item is
\item a
\item numbered
\item list
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}

Try putting the line
#+latex: \renewcommand{\theenumi}{R\arabic{enumi}}
before the start of the list. This changes how latex outputs the first
level (i) enumeration counter. Set it back afterwards to the same thing
*without* the =R= to get the default behaviour.
This is obviously a latex issue not specific to org. For these cases,
there are some very good resources online. e.g.
https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikibooks/en/wiki/LaTeX/
and my all time favourite:
http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/info/visualFAQ/visualFAQ.pdf
one of the best things about org as a writing mode is that you still
have access to most latex (and other export target) features in a
straightforward manner!
HTH,
eric

Thanks, I thought something like renewing a command could do the job.
However it could be nice, if it was possible to export a list with a
generic prefix on the lists.

I'm not sure what you mean? Doesn't what I posted above do the job?
This is the standard latex means of doing this, at least with the
default latex enumeration environment.
You may wish to check out other list environments; there are a few out
there, e.g. paralist. However, I am not sure how the latex exporter
could be configured to pass the extra information that some of these
need to achieve what you want.
HTH,
eric

Yes, it works perfectly when I export it into latex (and thank you for
that). Just wondering if it was possible to do something similar within
org-mode; a enumerate list with a prefix, e.g.:
R1. One
R2. Two

Ah, now I understand. The answer is no and I imagine it would be
difficult to define a regular expression to match such cases without
catching all kinds of lines that were not intended to be lists (e.g. the
last word in a sentence that happens to end up at the start of the
line...).
However, latex does allow you to manually over-ride any item
label/number by simply specifying your own in square brackets. e.g.
- [R1] one
- [R2] two
Org passes these through to the latex properly so this should do what
you want but obviously you won't have any automated procedure for
generating these labels.

This is also a latex related question, however I think it extents the
previous question. How to I make my counter of the enumeration-list
start at a specific position. Like
1. Test
2. of
Now I have something between the two enumerations
3. counters
4. in a
5. enumeration environment
In latex I would insert \setcounter{enumi}{3} after starting a
enumeration environment.

From the manual:
,----
| File: org, Node: Plain lists, Next: Drawers, Prev: Sparse trees, Up: Document Structure
|
| 2.7 Plain lists
| ===============
|
| Within an entry of the outline tree, hand-formatted lists can provide
| additional structure. They also provide a way to create lists of
| checkboxes (*note Checkboxes::). Org supports editing such lists, and
| every exporter (*note Exporting::) can parse and format them.
|
| Org knows ordered lists, unordered lists, and description lists.
| * _Unordered_ list items start with `-', `+', or `*'(1) as bullets.
|
| * _Ordered_ list items start with a numeral followed by either a
| period or a right parenthesis(2), such as `1.' or `1)'(3). If you
| want a list to start with a different value (e.g. 20), start the
| text of the item with `[@20]'(4). Those constructs can be used in
| any item of the list in order to enforce a particular numbering.
