Description
You can use a tabular environment for this. The brackets are placed automatically for the first and last column.
I defined an environment bracketitemize and a command \bitem to make this more comfortable.
Result
Code
\documentclass{article} \usepackage{array} \newenvironment{bracketitemize}{% \setlength{\tabcolsep}{0pt}% \begin{tabular}{ >{\textbullet\quad (} c c >{)} c }% }{% \end{tabular}% } \newcommand{\bitem}[1]{% & #1 &\\% } \begin{document} manually: { \setlength{\tabcolsep}{0pt} \begin{tabular}{ >{\textbullet\quad (} c c >{)} c } & Help &\\ & Individual &\\ & Test &&\\ \end{tabular} } \medskip With \texttt{bracketitemize}: \begin{bracketitemize} \bitem{Help} \bitem{Individual} \bitem{Test} \end{bracketitemize} \end{document}
