Description list Formatting using enumitem
5
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.

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}
and the result:
To get the minimal shift to right you can use the following code (use the longest word Output: to get the needed length):
begin{description}[%
widest=Output:, % <===================================================
itemindent=*,
leftmargin=* % <======================================================
]
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}
So the following 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}
begin{description}[%
widest=Output:, % <===================================================
itemindent=*,
leftmargin=* % <======================================================
]
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}
shows both solutions and there difference:
