Outlines package

[stephenll]

The Outlines package lets a use format an outline like this:

\begin{outline}
\1 blah blah
\1 more blah blah
    \2 a second level of blah blah
\1 even more blah blah
\end{outline}

Rather than have nested itemize environments, the \1 is much more appealing.

Out of the box the outlines package works with your enumitem package, but after inspecting the source of the outlines package I found it is fixed at 4 levels deep. I can easily expand it to more than 4 levels, but it isn't arbitrary. I'm happy to share how I changed the source to handle 6 nested levels.

Would you consider adding the ability to use the \1 way of creating outlines to the enumitem package so users can take full advantage of your package?

Unfortunately, I have no plans to update enumitem in the short term (except serious bugs), but if you post here the code or make a pull request (or even fork it), I can consider it, indeed.
