Text Formatting ⇒ How to center itemize?

[mabe83]

Hi!

I want to center an itemize block, related to the page. For example this one:

Code: Select all

\begin{itemize}
	\item[recall] = $TP/(TP+FN)$
	\item[precision] = $TP/(TP+FP)$
	\item[TP rate] = recall
	\item[FP rate] = $FP/(FP+TN)$
\end{itemize}

Unfortunately, typical things like \center don't work. Moreover, I tried to put it into minipage, parbox etc. but without success.

Thanks in advance!

Do you really have to use itemize environment for this purpose? Why not using, e.g., align environment:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{amsmath}

\newcommand{\lbr}[1][6]{\displaybreak[1]\\[#1pt]}% a command to simplify optional line break in the midst of an equation, with a default value of 6pt

\begin{document}

\begin{align*}
\text{recall} &= TP/(TP+FN)\lbr
\text{precision} &= TP/(TP+FP)\lbr
\text{TP rate} &= \text{recall}\lbr[12]% manually inserted vertical spacing, 12pt
\text{FP rate} &= FP/(FP+TN)
\end{align*}

\end{document}

P.S. To allow an equation to be broken across pages, use \displaybreak or \allowdisplaybreak commands (take a look at amsmath manual, section 3.9).
