Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Inserting a list within a table

[Eivissa]

Does anyone know how to do this?

I'm currently using sharelatex to make a CV, but I'm even finding this hard. The table in question is the one here:

But instead of just normal text on the left, I want to create an itemized list of what I did.

Here's the section of the code:

Code: Select all

%Section: Work Experience at the top
\section{Work Experience}
\begin{tabular}{r|p{11cm}}
 \emph{Current} & Trader at \textsc{Enoi} s.p.a., Milan \\\textsc{Jan 2009}&\emph{Physical Natural Gas Trading}\\&\footnotesize{Provided analysis of spreads, in particular time and location spreads, with emphasis on trading opportunities on the curve, also taking into account the availability of storage facilities. Became familiar with logistic implications of physical gas trading and developed knowledge of continental virtual hubs for gas exchange.}\\\multicolumn{2}{c}{} \\

\end{tabular}

Anyone?

Hi Eivissa,

welcome to the forum!

Perhaps there was no answer yet, because that code snippet is not compilable. Nobody can test that. It would always be good to post a small compilable example, in the meaning of a minimal working example. This is nearly a guarantee for a solution.

Here, I can hardly read the table, as there are text lines up to 479 characters long. That's not fun to read or to edit. If a table row ends by \\, I would also end the line in the source code.

Generally, when somebody shows testable readable code, it's quickly solved most of the time. Just as a general advice.

But back to the topic. You could simply use an itemize environment. It also works in a table. Do you know this, itemize?

Cheers Stefan, I don't really have a background in coding so this is what I've come up with as a mwe.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\begin{document}

\section{Work Experience}
\begin{tabular}{r|p{11cm}}
 \emph{ddd} & Job \\
 \textsc{Date}&\emph{Title}\\
 &\footnotesize{details}\\
 \multicolumn{2}{c}{} \\
 
 \textsc{Date} & Job \\
 &\emph{Title}\\
 &\footnotesize{details}\\
 \multicolumn{2}{c}{} \\
\end{tabular}

\end{document}

I basically want to insert an itemized list into the details bit but it keeps screwing up.

As Stefan said, you can use itemize.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{showframe}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\begin{document}

\section{Work Experience}
\begin{tabular}{r|p{11cm}}
	\emph{ddd} & Job \\
	\textsc{Date}&\emph{Title}\\
	&\footnotesize \begin{itemize}
		\item dancing duck
		\item wobbling whale
		\item salsa snake
		\item Rock and Roll Racoon
		\item \blindtext%to demonstrate how wide the tabular is
			%and why you get the warning
\end{itemize}
	\\

	\textsc{Date}
	& Job \\
	&\emph{Title}\\
	&\footnotesize details \\
	\\
\end{tabular}

\end{document}
