Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ How to wrap a list (itemize) around a figure?

[Montag]

Hello,

is there a package that can wrap text from an itemized / enumerated list around a figure--preferrably a non-floating figure/table?

You can use the picins package. The only problem is that sometimes it can mess up the indentation of the surrounding list, but the \suspend and \resume commands of the mdwlist package let you fix that. For example, here's how a 4-item list can be wrapped around a 4x4 table:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{picins}
\usepackage{mdwlist}
\begin{document}
\noindent Here is the main body of the text. Say some
stuff here.
\begin{enumerate}
\parpic[r]{\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|}
\hline
1 & 2 & 3 & 4\\
\hline
5 & 6 & 7 & 8\\
\hline
9 & 10 & 11 & 12\\
\hline
13 & 14 & 15 & 16\\
\hline
\end{tabular}}
 \item This here is item number 1. It is a good item
  and should be wrapped around a table.
 \item This here is item number 2. It is a good item
  and should be wrapped around a table.
 \item This here is item number 3. It is also a very
  good item but probably doesn't need wrapping.
\suspend{enumerate}
\resume{enumerate}
 \item This here is item number 4. It is also a very
  good item but probably doesn't need wrapping.
\end{enumerate}
\noindent The list has now ended. Say some more stuff
here.
\end{document}

Run LaTeX here

Without the \suspend and \resume commands, the list in the above example would have a different indentation for the fourth item. You may have to play with different possibilities depending on your list.

Thank you, yes, that works, but I think I'll stick to another experimental solution I found: two minipages right next to each other. That works too and with some fine tuning, it look quite alright.
