Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Using a table to create 2 columns

[anthony_91]

I'm thinking of using a table to create 2 columns like in the pdf below. I'm new to LaTeX, so I'm not exactly too sure how to create such a table where I'm able to insert bullet points

You can make it using this formula:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{array}

.
.
.
\begin{document}

\begin{tabular}{m{2in}m{2in}}

\begin{itemize}
  \item 1
  \item 2
  \item 3
\end{itemize}

&

\begin{itemize}
  \item 1
  \item 2
  \item 3
\end{itemize}

\end{tabular}

Thank you That helped me a lot. It was because I didn't put the \usepackage{array} that it wasn't working.

You could also use the multicol-package, like so:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{multicol}

\begin{document}
\begin{multicols}{2}
Text here:
  \begin{itemize}
    \item Text
    \item Text
    \item Text
  \end{itemize}
\columnbreak
Text here:
  \begin{itemize}
    \item Text
   \item Text
   \item Text
  \end{itemize}
\end{multicols}
\end{document}

Or two minipages, side by side:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}

\begin{document}
\begin{minipage}{0.5\textwidth}
Text here:
  \begin{itemize}
    \item Text
    \item Text
    \item Text
  \end{itemize}
\end{minipage}
\begin{minipage}{0.5\textwidth}
Text here:
  \begin{itemize}
    \item Text
   \item Text
   \item Text
  \end{itemize}
\end{minipage}
\end{document}
