Locally change the list environment that org mode exports to

Question

I need some lists to be normal lists (latex \enumerate) and some to be inline (latex \enumerate*) from the enumitem package.

Is there something like #+ATTR_LATEX I can give to make \enumerate change to \enumerate* on some lists?

Answer 1

Yes, there is:

#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage[inline]{enumitem}

* Lists

- one

- two

- three

and an enumerated list:

1. four

2. five

3. six



and an enumerate* list:
#+ATTR_LATEX: :environment enumerate*
1. seven

2. eight

3. nine

The documentation is not explicit enough here (the :environment setting is described in the section about exporting tables in LaTeX), but it works for anything, not just tables. EDIT: As the OP points out in a comment, there is an example in the Plain lists in LaTeX export section, which I missed.
