here are a list of available options,

        lineBreak?: boolean;
        width?: number;
        height?: number;
        ellipsis?: boolean|string;
        columns?: number;
        columnGap?: number;
        indent?: number;
        paragraphGap?: number;
        lineGap?: number;
        wordSpacing?: number;
        characterSpacing?: number;
        fill?: boolean;
        stroke?: boolean;
        link?: string;
        underline?: boolean;
        strike?: boolean;
        continued?: boolean;

@devongovett Any plans for adding numbered list styling, as to pass an option like @alexaung suggests,

doc.list(["item1","item2","item3"],{numbered: true}) will return

1. item1
2. item2
3. item3

instead of

• item1
• item2
• item3

@alexaung if you really need this you can simply do the following

  doc.text("2. domingo")
  doc.text("3. kilo")
  doc.text("4. dev")

It works but you will have to use the new version v0.8.3 which is not yet released.

• In Node use: npm install https://github.com/devongovett/pdfkit/tarball/master instead of the classic: npm install pdfkit
• In the browser follow the instructions in this wiki: https://github.com/devongovett/pdfkit/wiki/How-to-compile-PDFKit-for-use-in-the-browser (or download this file: https://github.com/alafr/SVG-to-PDFKit/blob/master/examples/pdfkit.js)

Thanks added it to my node environment with coffee-script works perfect

With current version you can use listType: 'numbered' or listType: 'lettered'. No mention of this in the documentation, but here it is in the code: https://github.com/foliojs/pdfkit/blob/master/lib/mixins/text.js#L146

My working example:

doc.list(words, left, top, { listType: 'numbered' })

I know this is an old issue. I'm using pdfkit in NodeJS and having a problem using listType numbered. I tried a couple of things but problem is that numbers are always 1.. Here is an example:

import * as fs from "fs"
import PDFDocument from "pdfkit"

const doc = new PDFDocument({ size: "A4" })
doc.pipe(fs.createWriteStream("file.pdf"))
doc.list(["Number 1", "Number 2", "Number 3"], { listType: "numbered" })
doc.end()

Results in a PDF like this:

1. Number 1
1. Number 2
1. Number 3

Do you have any idea and/or solution for this issue? Thanks in advance.

Update: I also found this: #1517 so seems to be an open issue.
