I'm trying to make a description
list more compact. I figured the easiest way to do this would be to use mdwlist
's description* environment. This reduces the spacing between list items. I'd also like to reduce the left margin to 0pt. From the Compacted List section of the mdwlist
documentation:
Some list environments accept arguments. You can pass an argument to a list environment using an optional argument to its compact variant. For example,
\begin{foolist*}[{someargument}]
So, I should be able to do something like \begin{description*}[leftmargin=0pt]
, no? Unfortunately, that returns
LaTeX Error: Something's wrong--perhaps a missing
\item
.
So, that's obviously not going to work. Can this be done using the mdwlist
package? Or, am I left recreating the description*
environment with just a small change?
