This forum thread is exactly what I'm looking for. I want my description environment to produce this:
Label is long text
lab2 blalballalaa
label3 possible second rule
label four hello world
Someone offered this:
newenvironment{mydescription}[1]
{begin{list}{}%
{renewcommandmakelabel[1]{##1:hfill}%
settowidthlabelwidth{makelabel{#1}}%
setlengthleftmargin{labelwidth}
addtolengthleftmargin{labelsep}}}
{end{list}}
Which works great (the parameter is the longest label), except I think the enumitem should be able to do this. Unfortunately, the documentation for it is extremely confusing to me. Could someone show me how to achieve the same result with enumitem?
