Description list Formatting using enumitem












3















I have a few lines of text that I want to be aligned to look like this:





Here is the MWE:



documentclass{article}
usepackage{enumitem}
begin{document}
begin{description}[labelindent=1em ,labelwidth=1.2cm, labelsep*=1em, leftmargin =!, itemindent= 0pt, style = sameline]
item[Input:] $a_1,ldots,a_m$
item[Output:] Can we do some operation on the given input to get some outcome using this methodology and using $a_1,ldots,a_m$?
end{description}
end{document}


which provides me the output:





As alternatives, I have also tried using hspace, tried eqnarray to no avail.

  • Seems you try to layout an pseudocode or algorithm. Do you know the packages with that names (see CTAN)?

  • Well, not really, it is part of a text, and I wanted to write it separately as Input/Output thats all.

  • I have been going through enumitem manual and dont you think its possible to set a specific width for the item label so that the item text doesnt come under it?

You can use for example leftmargin =3cm, to get what you want.



See the complete code



documentclass{article}

usepackage{enumitem}

begin{document}
begin{description}[%
labelindent=1em,
labelwidth=1.2cm,
labelsep*=1em,
leftmargin =3cm, % <==================================================
itemindent= 0pt,
style = sameline
]
item[Input:] $a_1,ldots,a_m$
item[Output:] Can we do some operation on the given input to get some outcome using this methodology and using $a_1,ldots,a_m$?
end{description}
end{document}
