Text Formatting ⇒ Additional Line for Item in itemized List

[dieinfolk]

Hello to everyone,

I'm using an itemize list. Each item is like a 2x2 matrix (4 elements in total which their own font). The structure for each item is:

[*]text1[/b].....................................[*]text2
[*]text3[/i].....................................[*]text4

Code: Select all

\newcommand{\ressubheading}[4]{
  \begin{tabular*}{6.5in}{l@{\extracolsep{\fill}}r}
    \textbf{#1} & #2 \\
    \emph{#3} & \textnormal{#4} \\
  \end{tabular*}\vspace{-6pt}
}

This works fine. The problem shows up when text on the first column is very long. I want something that looks like this:

[*]text1.text1.text1.text1.text1[/b]......... [*]text2
[*]text1.text1.text1[/b]
[*]text3[/i].........................................[*]text4

So i can keep the same font.

Thank you so much in advance,
dieinfolk

I order to avoid guesswork and random shots kindly prepare a proper, self-contained and minimal example.

Addendum:
Though there are endless edits of your post, you still haven't added useful information. You should do so if you expect helpful answers.

Hello,

I edited my post, but it seems like I should have replied instead.

Please, does someone know how i could add a line? (see my first post)

Thanks a lot to everyone,

Maybe using the tabu package?

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{array,tabu}
\newcommand{\ressubheading}[4]{%
  \begin{tabu} to 4cm {X[l]<{\strut}X[r]<{\strut}}
    \textbf{#1} & #2 \\
    \emph{#3} & \textnormal{#4} \\
  \end{tabu}%
}
\begin{document}

Text
\ressubheading{A long text long text long text long text}{B}{C}{D}
Text

\end{document}

Please notice that I changed the 6.5in to 4cm for the example.

Regards

Thanks you so much cgnieder!

It really works I've achieved something but doing a lot of nonsense and tricky things. This is very simple and useful!
