- Hello there ...
-
- I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to do the following in Latex and was
- wondering if anybody could help me ...
-
- I would like to be able to define an environment or command (or something :-))
- that would take a sentence (maybe as the first parameter) and split it up to
- fit into a particular width. It would then take the Information associated
- with the sentence (as the second parameter?) and format it within the available
- width left (with a slight space between the sentence and the information).
-
- For Example:
-
- \item[This should be left justifi...]
- This should be done as normal...
-
- \item[This is the second item]
- This is the second items desc...
-
- would result in the following
-
- This should This should be done as normal for a page
- be left and cd ncdscnd ndfnvjdfnvjkndf jvndfdvf v
- justified fv fdnfdn vdfvdfvdfjkndfjkvn jdfnv dfjnvv
- over here vnfjnvd fjkvndj fvndfjn jdfnvjd fnvjvn n
- fvndj nvndf jkdfjkvjkdfvjk njvnfj fjvnvnv
- fkmvklvdfmvkdfm dfkvmvcvc,mv,cxm .,xcmv x
-
- This is the This is the second items description
- second item which djcnsdjn cjksdncn sdjknc sdjcn sdjd
- cccds ds, every Tuesday ate three burgers
- at about Three O'Clock ?

-
-
- I apologise if I have not been very specific, but I can't figure it out
- at all ...
-
- I would greatly appreciate any help on this ...
-
- Thanks in advance,
