Folks,

We are all used to \begin{description}..\end{description and
\begin{enumerate}..\end{enumerate}.

Now I'm in a situation where I need this effect --

           Group title
             1. string
             2. string
             3. string
             4. string
           Group title
             5. string
             6. string
           Group title
             7. string
             8. string
             9. string

Here the "Group title" should be typeset exactly as we do with our
"description", and the numbered items should be exactly as we do with
our "enumerate".

AFAICT, by default, LaTeX doesn't let me do this. If I do

         \begin{description}
         \item[Group title]   ~\\
           \begin{enumerate}
             \item string=20
             \item string
           \end{enumerate}
         \item[Group title]   ~\\
           \begin{enumerate}
             \item string=20
             \item string
             \item string
           \end{enumerate}
         \end{description}

there are two problems - (1) that "~\\" is silly and (2) each
enumerate restarts the counter.

How does one do this? How do I get enumerate to not restart the counter?

Thanks much,

        -ans.
