描述项目标签作为句子的一部分

Question

描述列表是否适合项目标签作为句子一部分的定义？

\begin{description}
\item[Apples] are members of the Rosaceae family.
\item[Pineapples] are the only economically important Bromeliad fruit.
\item[Bananas] are delicious.
\item[Blending] of the above fruits into smoothies is possible.
\end{description}

项目标签和句子其余部分之间留有字间空格是否更合适？

Answer 1

我相信这取决于个人喜好。因此，这里有一种方法可以获取：

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{enumitem}% http://ctan.org/pkg/enumitem
\begin{document}
\begin{description}
  \item[Apples] are members of the Rosaceae family.
  \item[Pineapples] are the only economically important Bromeliad fruit.
  \item[Bananas] are delicious.
  \item[Blending] of the above fruits into smoothies is possible.
\end{description}

\begin{description}[labelsep=.3333em]
  \item[Apples] are members of the Rosaceae family.
  \item[Pineapples] are the only economically important Bromeliad fruit.
  \item[Bananas] are delicious.
  \item[Blending] of the above fruits into smoothies is possible.
\end{description}
\end{document}

在普通字体中，一个空格的宽度为.3333em，而标签与后续描述之间的默认间隙为.5em。

Answer 2

您还可以使用tabular环境：

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}

\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{booktabs}


\begin{document}

\begin{tabular}{l|l}
\textbf{Fruit} & \textbf{Description}\\
\hline
  Apples &Are members of the Rosaceae family\\
  Pineapples& Are the only economically important Bromeliad fruit\\
  Bananas& Are delicious\\
  Blending& Of the above fruits into smoothies is possible\\
\end{tabular}

\vspace*{50mm}

\begin{tabular}{l|l}
\textbf{Fruit} & \textbf{Description}\\
  Apples &Are members of the Rosaceae family\\
  Pineapples& Are the only economically important Bromeliad fruit\\
  Bananas& Are delicious\\
  Blending& Of the above fruits into smoothies is possible\\
\end{tabular}

\vspace*{50mm}
\begin{tabular}{ll}
\textbf{Fruit} & \textbf{Description}\\
  Apples &Are members of the Rosaceae family\\
  Pineapples& Are the only economically important Bromeliad fruit\\
  Bananas& Are delicious\\
  Blending& Of the above fruits into smoothies is possible\\
\end{tabular}

\end{document}

结果如下：

当然，你总是可以两全其美，比如说，使用\textbf第一列的项目，而不使用第二列的其他项目（看起来有点像 Werner 提供的答案，只是我的答案是合理的）：

\begin{tabular}{ll}
  \textbf{Apples} & Are members of the Rosaceae family\\
  \textbf{Pineapples} & Are the only economically important Bromeliad fruit\\
  \textbf{Bananas} & Are delicious\\
  \textbf{Blending} & Of the above fruits into smoothies is possible\\
\end{tabular}
