title: Latex - skip numbering in an enumerate environment
body: <p>I would like to skip numbering in a Latex enumerate environment to generate lists as follows:</p>
  
  <p>(1) Item 1..</p>
  
  <p>(2) Item 2..</p>
  
  <p>(5) Item 5..</p>
  
  <p>(6) Item 6..</p>
  
  <p>and so on.</p>
  
  <p>The Latex code is auto-generated, so <em>ideally</em>, I would like to insert "silent" \item-s in the environment, so that they will keep track of the numbering but nothing will appear on the output. However, if I simply add empty \items currently, I get lists like the following:</p>
  
  <p>(1) Item 1</p>
  
  <p>(2) Item 2</p>
  
  <p>(3)</p>
  
  <p>(4)</p>
  
  <p>(5) Item 5</p>
  
  <p>(6) Item 6</p>
  
  <p>While the empty \item-s approach is the most ideal, I'm more than welcome to any other ways of achieving the number-skipping.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
