How can I get lists arranged in two columns throughout the document. I would like to make changes only in preamble and not in the list.
I am thinking of this structure
. First item . second item
. third item
Here is MWE.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{multicol}
\begin{document}
\begin{multicols}{2}
\begin{itemize}
\item 1
\item 2
\item 3
\item 4
\item 5
\item 6
\item 7
\item 8
\item 9
\item 10
\item 11
\item 12
\item 13
\end{itemize}
\end{multicols}
\end{document}
