Based on the suggestions on What are the differences between using paralist vs. enumitem, I am transitioning from using paralist
to enumitem
and have encountered a few issues.
-
There are a few places where I use paragraph mode list
inparaenum
, so was wondering if I can have both packages loaded, and useenumitem
for theenumerate
,itemize
, anddescription
environments, but still be able to useinparaenum
from theparalist
package? Are there any problem in loading both packages? It seems that theparalist
has to be loaded beforeenumitem
. -
I noticed that there is at least one small difference in spacing between the two packages. The standard
enumerate
leaves a little extra space on the left hand side prior to the item label. That's just one thing I noticed, and there might be other spacing issues that I have not yet encountered. So, are there settings that I can use to have {enumitem} produce spacing as identical as possible to what was produced by {paralist}. Or has someone else had this issue and come up with a bunch of settings to do this? This can be seen by switching which one of the list environments are commented out.
MWE:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{paralist}
%\usepackage[shortlabels]{enumitem}
\begin{document}
\begin{enumerate}[(a)]
\item One
\item Two
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}

With regard to your first question (lists in paragraph mode), I suggest to wait for the release of
enumitem
version 3.0 which is due next week. From the README of 3.0alpha2:Concerning your second question: There's no "paralist spacing emulation mode" for enumitem, but it should be possible to dig into
paralist.sty
, extract the exact spacing behaviour and tweak enumitem's settings accordingly.EDIT: The following settings should come at least fairly close to paralist:
