\begin{list}{label}{spacing} \item First item \item Second item . . . \end{list}
The {label} argument specifies how items should be labeled. This argument is a piece of text that is inserted in a box to form the label. This argument can and usually does contain other LaTeX commands.
The {spacing} argument contains commands to change the spacing parameters for the list. This argument will most often be null, i.e. {}. This will select all default spacing which should suffice for most cases.
