Text Formatting ⇒ Lists

[the_obs]

Hey guys,
How can I get Latex to produce lists as following:


I would like text (here, ALT and SEQ) underneath an item to be aligned with the above item's text. I tried easylist but I can't get text underneath to align correctly. It does this:

Hi,

the enumitem package could be useful:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,twoside]{article}
\usepackage{enumitem}

\newlist{legal}{enumerate}{10}
\setlist[legal]{label*=\arabic*.,nolistsep,leftmargin=*}

\begin{document}

\begin{legal}[nolistsep]
  \item Plan your...\\
  SEQ
    \begin{legal}
      \item Log...
      \item Select...
      \item Define...\\
      ALT
      \begin{legal}
        \item A subsubitem....
        \item Another subsubitem....
      \end{legal}
    \end{legal}
\end{legal}

\end{document}

That worked like a charm. This is the third time you have answered my questions, thank you so much, gmedina.

New challenge: is there anyway I can format my list to look like this?

Since \multirow doesn't accept the \columncolor command, you'll need two tabular environments (one for the "Main Success" block and another for the alternating color table); the height for the first block will need manual adjustment:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[table]{xcolor}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{chngcntr}

\newcounter{Myiti}
\newcounter{Myitii}
\newcounter{Myitiii}
\counterwithin{Myitii}{Myiti}
\counterwithin{Myitiii}{Myitii}

\newcommand*\Itemi{\stepcounter{Myiti}\theMyiti.}
\newcommand*\Itemii{\stepcounter{Myitii}\theMyitii.}
\newcommand*\Itemiii{\stepcounter{Myitiii}\theMyitiii.}

\definecolor{BlueI}{RGB}{15 110 198}
\definecolor{BlueII}{RGB}{116 184 244}
\definecolor{BlueIII}{RGB}{186 219 249}

\begin{document}

\begin{tabular}[t]{>{\columncolor{BlueI}\bfseries}p{2cm}}
  \textcolor{white}{Main} \\
  \textcolor{white}{Success} \\[161.6pt]% adjust manually
\end{tabular}\hspace*{-4pt}
\rowcolors{1}{BlueII}{BlueIII}
\arrayrulecolor{white}
\begin{tabular}[t]{r|>{\raggedright\arraybackslash}p{6cm}}
  \Itemi & Text \\ \hline
  \Itemii & Text \\ \hline
  \Itemiii & Text \\ \hline
  \Itemi & Text \\ \hline
  \Itemii & Text \\ \hline
  \Itemii & Text \\ \hline
  \Itemii & Text \\ \hline
  \Itemi & Text \\ \hline
  \Itemii & Text \\ \hline
  \Itemiii & Text \\ \hline
  \Itemiii & Text \\ \hline
  \Itemi & Text \\ \hline
  \Itemii & Text \\ \hline
  \Itemi & Text \\ \hline
  \Itemii & Text \\ \hline
\end{tabular}

\end{document}

Building on gmedina's idea, one way perhaps to avoid manually calculating the height of the one table would be to stick the other table in a savebox and use it as a whole as a column in the first one.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[table]{xcolor}
\usepackage{fouriernc}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{chngcntr}

\newcounter{Myiti}
\newcounter{Myitii}
\newcounter{Myitiii}
\counterwithin{Myitii}{Myiti}
\counterwithin{Myitiii}{Myitii}

\newcommand*\Itemi{\stepcounter{Myiti}\theMyiti.}
\newcommand*\Itemii{\stepcounter{Myitii}\theMyitii.}
\newcommand*\Itemiii{\stepcounter{Myitiii}\theMyitiii.}

\definecolor{BlueI}{RGB}{15 110 198}
\definecolor{BlueII}{RGB}{116 184 244}
\definecolor{BlueIII}{RGB}{186 219 249}

\begin{document}


\newsavebox{\mylist}
\savebox{\mylist}{%
\rowcolors{1}{BlueII}{BlueIII}
\arrayrulecolor{white}
\begin{tabular}[t]{@{}|r|>{\raggedright\arraybackslash}p{6cm}}
  \Itemi & Text \\ \hline
  \Itemii & Text \\ \hline
  \Itemiii & Text \\ \hline
  \Itemi & Text \\ \hline
  \Itemii & Text \\ \hline
  \Itemii & Text \\ \hline
  \Itemii & Text \\ \hline
  \Itemi & Text \\ \hline
  \Itemii & Text \\ \hline
  \Itemiii & Text \\ \hline
  \Itemiii & Text \\ \hline
  \Itemi & Text \\ \hline
  \Itemii & Text \\ \hline
  \Itemi & Text \\ \hline
  \Itemii & Text \\ \hline
  \Itemii & Text \\ \hline
\end{tabular}}

\begin{tabular}{>{\columncolor{BlueI}\bfseries}p{2cm}|@{\hspace*{-3pt}}l}
  \textcolor{white}{Main \newline Success} &
 \usebox{\mylist} 
\end{tabular}\hspace*{-4pt}

\end{document}
