Something like \enumerate, but with custom numbers at each \item
You could simply use the optional Argument of \item
\documentclass{scrartcl}
\begin{document}
\begin{itemize}
\item [2.9] Foo
\item [53.2] Bar
\item [69.11]
\end{itemize}
\end{document}
I hope that’s what you wanted to do …
The genuinely insane way to do this is as follows:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\makeatletter
\newcommand*{\wackyenum}[1]{%
\expandafter\@wackyenum\csname c@#1\endcsname%
}
\newcommand*{\@wackyenum}[1]{%
$\ifcase#1\or52.2\or52.9\or53.13\or42%
\else\@ctrerr\fi$%
}
\AddEnumerateCounter{\wackyenum}{\@wackyenum}{53.13}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\begin{enumerate}[label=\wackyenum*]
\item One
\item Two
\item Three
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}
This allows you to define an arbitrary list of numbers that the the enumeration will cycle through. This has the (very minor) advantage of having the spacing behave a little better. This is basically how a lot of things are done in the moreenum
package. The documentation explains the procedure.
Depending on how much "non-sequential" your numbers are, and how much you need a quick & dirty solution instead of something with polish and automatism, you might get along with \addtocounter
and some ad-hoc-ery involving the enumitem
package:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\begin{document}
\begin{enumerate}[label=52.\arabic*,start=2]
\item Answer % 52.2
\addtocounter{enumi}{6}
\item Answer % 52.9
\end{enumerate}
\begin{enumerate}[label=53.\arabic*,start=13]
\item Answer % 53.13
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}
With a bit more work, you could make the page number (52, 53) into a counter of its own and wrap it all into a re-useable environment definition, but I think this gives you the idea of it all.
