How to go to the next line in a begin description

Question

How can I make it so that when a line gets too long it goes to the next line?

Answer 1

In order to ensure that a description label can span multiple lines, you can make use of the unboxed style offered by the enumitem package:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{enumitem}

\begin{document}
\begin{description}[style=unboxed]
\item[description] here is the description of the label
\item[this is a very long description label this is a very long description label ] here is the description of the label here is the description of the label here is the description of the label
\end{description}
\end{document}

Answer 2

Two solutions that might be better suited to what you actually want to achieve. Just use itemize or use paragraphs instead:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\begin{document}
\begin{itemize}[label={}]
\bfseries
\item An extremely long description that is written in bold and so on which is long enough to wrap properly
\item Another item
\end{itemize}

Or you could just use paragraphs:

\paragraph{A very long item with lots of words in it and so on and then some normal text}

This text is normal
\end{document}
