Hi!
I've been trying to make a horizontal bullet list, but can only find horizontal lists using numbers or letters.
So far the best version I've come up with was to use the text "as the items":
Code: Select all
\begin{inparadesc}
\item[ bla bla] ---
\item[ bla bla2] ---
\item[ bla bla3] ---
\item[ bla bla 4]
\end{inparadesc}
But then the text is bold and I don't really like it (plus I'd prefer bullet points).
Any ideas?

Do you find
The wikibook entry on lists helpful?
Code: Select all
\documentclass[twocolumn]{article}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\usepackage[inline]{enumitem}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\begin{document}
\blindtext Coco likes fruit. Her favorites are:
\begin{itemize*}[font={\color{red!50!black}}]
\item bananas
\item apples
\item oranges and
\item lemons.
\end{itemize*}
\blindtext
\end{document}

Yes, I didn't see that post when I was looking before. So yes, it was very helpful!

Hi again,
I encountered another problem.. My other vertical lists in the same document have now a bigger space between the bullet points (more like double-spaced instead of single-spaced). Is it possible to remove this without changing the horizontal list too?

Hi Caroline,
could you post a compilable code example which shows this issue? At least I would have a chance to test and to modify it.

You can
customize your list .
But really, a MWE is needed to give more precise hints.

It worked using \begin{itemize}[noitemsep] for the other lists. Thanks!
