Subject: Dealing with wide labels in description environment
Date: Fri, 22 Jan 2021 10:20:51 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87ft2tcop8.fsf@hornfels.zedat.fu-berlin.de> (raw)

Hi,

I am exporting to PDF via LaTeX and have the following

 - short label :: this looks fine
 - very annoying overly long label :: this doesn't 

on export, the long label protrudes into the definitions column.

I have tried tweaking options such as labelindent and labelwidth in a
somewhat haphazard manner with, say,
 
  #+attr_latex: :options [labelindent=0pt, labelwidth=10ex] 

but most of my attempts seem to have the main effect of just shifting
the whole list to the right without right-justifying the labels.

Does anyone know how to do this properly?

Cheers,

Loris
