The moderncv package comes with a lot of builtin command. One I think is usefull is the \cvlistitem
and \cvlistdoubelitem
when items to list are smalls and fit on two columns. But what should I do when I have really tiny items that can fit on three columns? I tried to use minipages but I got 2 problems:
- I have to guess the width of the available space as putting minipages' width to
0.3\textwidth
result in the third minipage below the others - I have to force the vertical position of the content inside the minipage
Is there a simplest canonical way to have such a \cvlisttripleitem
?
Here is a MWE (not so minimal actually):
\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{moderncv}
\moderncvtheme[blue]{classic}
\firstname{First}
\lastname{Last}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\section{Technical skills}
% itemize
\cvitem{group 1}{
\begin{itemize}
\item skill 1
\item skill 2
\item skill 3
\end{itemize}
}
\cvitem{group 2}{\begin{itemize} \item skill 4 \end{itemize}}
\section{Double itemize}
% double itemize
\cvlistdoubleitem{skill 1}{skill 4}
\cvlistdoubleitem{skill 2}{skill 5}
\cvlistdoubleitem{skill 3}{}
\section{Triple itemize}
%triple itemize
\cvitem{}{
\begin{minipage}[t]{0.25\textwidth}
\begin{itemize}
\item tiny item 1
\item tiny item 2
\end{itemize}
\end{minipage}
\begin{minipage}[t]{0.25\textwidth}
\begin{itemize}
\item tiny item 3
\item tiny item 4
\end{itemize}
\end{minipage}
\begin{minipage}[t]{0.25\textwidth}
\begin{itemize}
\item tiny item 5
\end{itemize}
\end{minipage}
}
%\cvlisttripleitem{1}{2}{3}
\section{Triple itemize}
% triple itemize
% does not work
\cvitem{}{
\begin{minipage}{0.3\textwidth}
\begin{itemize}
\item tiny item 1
\end{itemize}
\end{minipage}
\begin{minipage}{0.3\textwidth}
\begin{itemize}
\item tiny item 2
\end{itemize}
\end{minipage}
\begin{minipage}{0.3\textwidth}
\begin{itemize}
\item tiny item 3
\end{itemize}
\end{minipage}

Best Answer
Here is one option using
multicols*
frommulticol
package.There are three length of concern. The left column is having a width of
\hintscolumnwidth
, the separator width is\separatorcolumnwidth
and the main column is\maincolumnwidth
wider.Another option is to use
tasks
package. I will add an example later.
