描述列表 - 如何将整个段落放在同一起始行？

Question

我有以下 LaTeX 代码：

\documentclass{article}
  \begin{document}
    \begin{description}
       \item[a)] Perhaps the single most commonly used application is the measurement of vibration modes in order to compare these with corresponding data produced by a finite element or other theoretical model.For this specific application, all that we require from the the test are:...    
    \end{description}    
  \end{document}

并生成以下 PDF：

我希望第二行和第三行从段落“也许”第一行的开始位置开始。

Answer 1

有更复杂的方法来定制枚举列表，但对于您在此处描述的目的，该enumerate包应该有所帮助：

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{enumerate}
\begin{document}

\begin{enumerate}[a)]%for small alpha-characters 
    \item Perhaps the single most commonly used application is the measurement of vibration modes in order to compare these with corresponding data produced by a finite element or other theoretical model.For this specific application, all that we require from the the test are:
    \item test itme 1
    \item test item 2
\end{enumerate}

\end{document}

Answer 2

这是你想要的吗？

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{enumitem}
  \begin{document}
    \begin{enumerate}[label=\alph*)]
       \item Perhaps the single most commonly used application is the measurement of vibration modes in order to compare these with corresponding data produced by a finite element or other theoretical model.For this specific application, all that we require from the the test are:...

  \end{document}
