using size for font icon list symbol?

Question

I'm using these two packages

\usepackage{graphicx,pifont}% http://ctan.org/pkg/{graphicx,pifont}
\let\oldding\ding% Store old \ding in \oldding
\renewcommand{\ding}[2][1]{\scalebox{#1}{\oldding{#2}}}% Scale \oldding via optional argument

this line works well

\ding[0.5]{111}

However when I use in list items it breaks the code and I get an error

\begin{itemize}[label=\ding[0.5]{111}]
...
\end{itemize}

I’m voting to close this question because it belongs to the TEX SE — Sursula, Jun 19 '23 at 08:35

Wrap your command in {...} if you want to use it inside of an optional argument:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx,pifont}% http://ctan.org/pkg/{graphicx,pifont}
\let\oldding\ding% Store old \ding in \oldding
\renewcommand{\ding}[2][1]{\scalebox{#1}{\oldding{#2}}}% Scale \oldding via optional argument
\usepackage{enumitem}
\begin{document}
\ding[0.5]{111}
\begin{itemize}[label={\ding[0.5]{111}}]
\item ttt
\end{itemize}
\end{document}
