Enumeration

Post by ojones »

I'm using

\begin{multicols}{2}
\begin{enumerate}
\item
\item
\end{enumerate}
\end{multicols}

to list problems in two columns. However, I'd like the numbering to incease going across the row, not down the column. Anyone know how to accomplish this? Thanks.

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Hi,

you could use the multienum package. A little example (refer to the package documentation for further information):

Code: Select all

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{multienum}

\begin{document}

\begin{multienumerate}
  \mitemxx{First}{Second}
  \mitemxx{Third}{Fourth}
  \mitemx{Fifth}
\end{multienumerate}

\end{document}
1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144,233,...
