I want a description list that looks like the following:
Name | Joel Spolsky
Address | Some address
Some zipcode
Telephone | +31 123 456
E-Mail | email@domain.org
Something more | Bashing latex in-
elaborate | to submission
How would I accomplish this? I've tried using the enumitem package but it doesn't want to align the labels (not the items) to the right as in the above example. When using the multiline style option items either overlap or bump into eachother.
I'm trying to create something like this:
\usepackage{enumitem}
\setdescription{style=multiline,topsep=10pt,leftmargin=5cm,font=\normalfont}
\section{Experience}
\begin{description}
\item[Data] 2011 - heden (20 weken)
\item[Beroep of functie] Software Developer
\item[Voornaamste werkzaamheden en verantwoordelijkheden] Software ontwikkeling
\item[Naam en adres van de werkgever] Multicast Automatisering B.V.
\item[Soort onderneming of sector] Informatie Communicatie Technologie (ICT)
\end{description}

The
enumitem
package does not feature aparright
alignment option, but (somewhat to my surprise) it was rather easy to create (as a carbon copy of the existingparleft
option).EDIT: Peter Grill pointed out
\SetLabelAlign
in a comment, and this actually results in superior spacing.EDIT 2: The alternative version is only recommended if you have an old version of
enumitem
-- hat tip to Alan Munn.
