[Tex/LaTex] Enumeration flush right

#enumeratehorizontal alignmentlists

How can I do enumeration like this:

Some loresipsum, lores ipsume loresipsum, lores ipsume loresipsum, lores ipsume loresipsum, lores ipsume loresipsum, lores ipsume loresipsum, lores ipsume loresipsum, lores ipsume loresipsum, lores ipsume loresipsum, lores ipsume loresipsum, lores ipsume loresipsum, lores ipsume
            text: some info
        Sometext: some another info
  Somelongertext: an info
loresipsum, lores ipsume loresipsum, lores ipsume loresipsum, lores ipsume loresipsum, lores ipsume loresipsum, lores ipsume loresipsum, lores ipsume loresipsum, lores ipsume loresipsum, lores ipsume loresipsum, lores ipsume loresipsum, lores ipsume loresipsum, lores ipsume

A quick solution:

\begin{itemize}
\item[text:] some info
\item[Sometext:] some another info
\item[Somelongertext:] an info
\end{itemize}

But if you want the items not to be put in the margins, you can use a tabular instead. I use longtabu from tabu package with column type X, to make the text wrapping properly. However, it is not suitable for long items, that produce bad page breaks.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{longtable,tabu}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1]
\begin{longtabu} to \textwidth{@{}rX@{}}
text: & some info \\
Sometext: & some another info \\
Somelongertext: & something very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very long
\end{longtabu}
\lipsum[2]
\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] nested enumeration, skipping items

If you want to skip the use of an itemizing something in a nested list while still maintaining the indentation, you can use \item[] to override the labelling and therefore obtain a label-less \item. The following produces exactly the nesting and labelling you're after:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[shortlabels]{enumitem}

\begin{document}
\begin{enumerate}[1)]
  \item Level 1
  \begin{enumerate}[A)]
    \item sublevel A
    \begin{enumerate}[i)]
      \item sublevel i
       \begin{enumerate}[a)]
         \item sublevel a
       \end{enumerate}
    \end{enumerate}
  \end{enumerate}

  \item Level 1 [here are \textbf{two} skipped sublevel \verb|\item|s]
    \begin{enumerate}[A)]
      \item[]% Empty item (nesting kept)
      \begin{enumerate}[i)]
        \item[]% Empty item (nesting kept)
        \begin{enumerate}[a)]
          \item sublevel a
          \item sublevel a
        \end{enumerate}
      \end{enumerate}
    \end{enumerate}

  \item Level 1
  \begin{enumerate}[A)]
    \item sublevel A [here is \textbf{one} skipped sublevel \verb|\item|]
    \begin{enumerate}[i)]
      \item[]% Empty item (nesting kept)
      \begin{enumerate}[a)]
        \item sublevel a
        \item sublevel a
      \end{enumerate}
    \end{enumerate}
    \item sublevel A
    \begin{enumerate}[i)]
      \item sublevel i
      \begin{enumerate}[a)]
        \item sublevel a
      \end{enumerate}
      \item sublevel i
    \end{enumerate}
  \end{enumerate}
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}

Nested enumerate environment with some item skipping while preserving nesting

The biggest thing to maintain the structure is to keep your code using a uniform indentation. That way you can easily see at which level certain items are. Of course, (La)TeX has no concern with this as long as your groups are well-ordered. However, debugging code could be messy if the indentation is lacking.

[Tex/LaTex] Enumeration in margins and hang indentation

Is it like this?

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[top = 1in, bottom = 1in, left = 1in, right = 1in]{geometry}
\usepackage[usenames,dvipsnames]{xcolor}
\usepackage{showframe}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\setlist[enumerate]{leftmargin=\itemindent}    %% leftmargin=-\itemindent

\begin{document}
\noindent X\dotfill X
\begin{center}
\textbf{class X}
\end{center}

\begin{enumerate}
\item \footnotesize \textcolor{blue}{AAAAA} \normalsize
\item  BBBBB
\item \parbox[t]{\linewidth}{\hangindent=7mm \noindent \textcolor{blue}{
\textbf{sadsdasd sdsdadsd}. \textbf{1902}. sasds sasdasd adsdsasds sadsdsadsa asdasd. \textit{adsdsdadsd asda sdsadsadsda sdasdsdadsds asdasddsdasdsa}. asdasd: asdsads sasdas.}}

\end{enumerate}

\begin{center}
\textbf{class Y}
\end{center}

\begin{enumerate}[resume]
\item \footnotesize \textcolor{blue}{CCCCC} \normalsize
\end{enumerate}

\end{document}

Or this:

Changing \setlist[enumerate]{leftmargin=-\itemindent} to

\setlist[enumerate]{leftmargin=*}

gives
