2.4.3 Itemize-like Environments

In an itemize-like environment, nodes (i.e., ‘\item’s) may be inserted using C-c LFD or M-RET. The latter is only defined as an alias if the key binding is still available.

Command: LaTeX-insert-item

(C-c LFD or M-RET) Close the current item, move to the next line and insert an appropriate ‘\item’ for the current environment. That is, ‘itemize’ and ‘enumerate’ will have ‘\item ’ inserted, while ‘description’ will have ‘\item[] ’ inserted.

User Option: TeX-arg-item-label-p

If non-nil, you will always be asked for optional label in items. Otherwise, you will be asked only in description environments.
