itemize

      \begin{itemize}
      \item First item
      \item Second item
      ....
      \end{itemize}

The itemize environment produces a list with "tick-marks" (typically "bullets" for first level). Itemizations can be nested within one another, up to four levels deep.

Each item of an itemized list begins with an `\item` command. There must be at least one `\item` command within the environment.

The default optional `label` argument of the `\item` command is given by the `\labelitemi, \labelitemii, \labelitemiii, \labelitemiv` commands, respectively, depending on the nesting level. These may be redefined with the `\renewcommand` command. For example, to make the first level marks nice five-point stars,

       \renewcommand{\labelitemi}{$\star$}
