Latex - skip numbering in an enumerate environment

Viewed 26956

I would like to skip numbering in a Latex enumerate environment to generate lists as follows:

(1) Item 1..

(2) Item 2..

(5) Item 5..

(6) Item 6..

and so on.

The Latex code is auto-generated, so ideally, 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:

(1) Item 1

(2) Item 2

(3)

(4)

(5) Item 5

(6) Item 6

While the empty \item-s approach is the most ideal, I'm more than welcome to any other ways of achieving the number-skipping.

Thanks in advance!
