[Tex/LaTex] Itemize in Tabular raises “Something wrong–perhaps a missing \item”

Question

By trying to compile the code below the following error will be raised for each \item entry.

Something's wrong–perhaps a missing \item

\begin{tabular}{ll}
    560 v. Chr. & \begin{itemize}
                     \item erster Eintrag
                     \item zweiter Eintrag
                     \item dritter Eintrag 
                  \end{itemize} \\
\end{tabular}

Answer 1

An itemize inside a tabular cell is not allowed.

Use:

\begin{tabular}{ll}
560 v. Chr. & erster Eintrag\\
            & zweiter Eintrag\\
            & dritter Eintrag\\ 
\end{tabular}

Otherwise, if you want LaTeX to automatically break the line, use:

\begin{tabular}{lp{5cm}}
560 v. Chr. & erster Eintrag zweiter Eintrag dritter Eintrag\\ 
\end{tabular}
