UPDATE
My problem comes down to the following: vertical space is added before the \items of a list within a macro. The layout I want to use is based on the classicthesis-styled CV (currvita) template by Alessandro Plasmati and the defined commands (\MarginText and \Description) should produce a margin text that is aligned vertically with the first line of the \Description text.
However, when using lists, vertical space is added before the list. How can I suppress this? I already tried \setlength{topskip}{0pt} and also the space controls added by the enumitem package.
Why do lists behave like this?
MWE:
\documentclass[a4paper]{scrartcl}
\reversemarginpar
\newcommand{\MarginText}[1]{\marginpar{\raggedleft#1}}
\newcommand{\Description}[1]{#1}
\begin{document}
\Description{\MarginText{Papers}
\begin{itemize}
\item a bibitem
\item another one
\end{itemize}
}
\end{document}
Old Version
When I use \bibentry in the classicthesis-styled CV, the entries are listed after a line break, however I want the \bibentry next to the category (e.g. papers, conferences, posters etc.). Also, the bibliography gets listed below (which I don't want)—how can I change this? See an example in the uploaded screenshot and the MWE below.
