Document Classes ⇒ enumerate with horizontal align

[bkarpuz]

Dear LC members,

I spent more than a hour for searching how to align items horizontally instead of vertically, but I could not find any examples.
Would you please help me having a list as follows?

1. Item 1....2. Item 2....3. Item 3

Thanks a lot.

Hi bkarpuz,

you could use the paralist package and the inparaenum environment.

Thanks Stefan_K, but I still need help.

I use the following preamble.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{paralist}
\usepackage{enumitem}

When I use enumerate for my questions as follows

Code: Select all

\textbf{Questions}.
\begin{enumerate}[label={(\alph*)},leftmargin=*,ref=(\alph*)]
\item\label{q1a} Question~1.
\item\label{q1b} Question~2.
\end{enumerate}

I can refer those items in answers in itemize as follows

Code: Select all

\textbf{Answers}.
\begin{itemize}
\item[\ref{q1a}] Answer~1.
\item[\ref{q1b}] Answer~2.
\end{itemize}

But when I use inparaenum instead of enumerate as follows,
I dont get the same output in answers.

Code: Select all

\textbf{Questions}.
\begin{inparaenum}[(a)]
\item\label{q1a} Question~1. \item\label{q1b} Question~2.
\end{inparaenum}

Is it possible to fix it?

Moreover, the distance between '(a)' and 'Question 1' when inparaenum is used is not the same as enumerate gives.

Thanks.

You could simply write (\ref{...}) with your own parentheses. The paralist documentation does that.

Regarding the distance: those packages use different distances. Instead of programming, you could also simply write

Code: Select all

\begin{inparaenum}[(a)~] ...

or use another spacing command instead of ~.

Since I also use hyperref they exactly differ from each other in the output.
Is there another way for this to look them identically same as enumerate generated items?

Thanks this works very well.

Your help is really appreciated.

You didn't mention hyperref before.,
Ok, here's another way:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{paralist}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\renewcommand*{\theenumi}{(\alph{enumi})}
\renewcommand*{\labelenumi}{\theenumi~}
\begin{document}
\textbf{Questions}.
\begin{inparaenum}
\item\label{q1a} Question~1. \item\label{q1b} Question~2.
\end{inparaenum}

\textbf{Answers}.
\begin{itemize}
\item[\ref{q1a}] Answer~1.
\item[\ref{q1b}] Answer~2.
\end{itemize}
\end{document}

This is awesome!

Thanks a lot Stefan.
