Table showing titles

Question

I would like to make a table of titles which will look like this

A   First Title
B   Second Title

and so on

I am unsure whether to make a new environment or a new command for this.

Currently I am doing

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage{appendix}

\title{Proposal}
\author{Rama}
\date{October 2023}

\begin{document}

\maketitle

\newpage
\tableofcontents

\newpage
\appendix
\appendixpage
\addappheadtotoc

\noindent\textbf{A \quad First Title}

\smallskip\noindent\textbf{B \quad Second Title}

\newpage
\section{First Title}
  
\newpage
\section{Second Title}

\end{document}

One can use tables (e.g. list, enumeration, tabular) but the text is smaller and there is some indentation.

etoc is a massive thing. I only want a small simple list a few Appendix Titles which will not be enormous.

Answer 1

How about

\begin{tabular}{ ll } % use 'l' ("left aligned") col. type
  A & First Title \\
  B & Second Title
\end{tabular}

If all contents need to be rendered in bold, I suggest you not use lots of \textbf directives. Instead, just load the array package in the preamble and replace \begin{tabular}{ ll } with \begin{tabular}{ >{\bfseries}l >{\bfseries}l }. Can you guess what >{\bfseries} does?

---

The result of making these code snippets compilable:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{array}
\begin{document}

\begin{center}

\begin{tabular}{ ll } 
  A & First Title \\
  B & Second Title
\end{tabular}

\bigskip
\begin{tabular}{ >{\bfseries}l >{\bfseries}l } 
  A & First Title \\
  B & Second Title
\end{tabular}

\end{center}

\end{document}

Answer 2

This uses enumerate (just for fun).

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage{appendix}
\usepackage{enumitem}% not really needed, but useful}

\title{Proposal}
\author{Rama}
\date{October 2023}

\begin{document}

\maketitle

\newpage
\tableofcontents

\newpage
\appendix
\appendixpage
\addappheadtotoc

\textbf{\begin{enumerate}[label=\Alph*]
  \item First Title
  \item Second Title
\end{enumerate}}

\newpage
\section{First Title}
  
\newpage
\section{Second Title}

\end{document}
