年表的枚举方法

Question

我要制作一个按时间顺序排列的列表，其中包含数十个条目。此外，每个条目的日期必须位于相邻文本的下方一点。

我以前的想法是使用该longtable包，它会生成我正在寻找的类型的条目，但没有“拉伸”来确保每页包含从页面最顶部到最底部的条目。

无论如何，我的 MWE 代码如下。

\documentclass[12pt]{article}

\hoffset 10pt \voffset -55pt
\oddsidemargin 17pt \evensidemargin 18pt \topmargin 35pt
\headheight 25pt \textheight 8.25in \textwidth 5.75in
\headsep 40pt \marginparwidth 35pt

\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage[lf]{electrum}
\usepackage{pgfpages}
\pgfpagesuselayout{2 on 1}
\begin{document}
%\renewcommand*{\arraystretch}{1.5}

\large
\begin{longtable}{m{4.75cm} m{9.5cm}}
\flushright{\vspace{-83pt} {\bf Aug. 25, 1905 ---}} & A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. \\[10pt] 
\flushright{\vspace*{-64pt} {\bf Aug. 27, 1905 ---}} & A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. \\[10pt]
\flushright{\vspace{-133pt} \bf Apr. 5, 1912 ---} & A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. \\[10pt]
\flushright{\vskip -114pt {\bf May 8, 1913 ---}} & A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. \\[10pt]
\flushright{\vspace{-81pt} {\bf Sept. 30, 1914 ---}} & A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. \\[10pt] 
\flushright{\vspace*{-64pt} {\bf Jan. 20, 1918 ---}} & A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. \\[10pt]
\flushright{\vspace{-137pt} \bf Aug. 2, 1925 ---} & A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. \\[10pt]
\flushright{\vskip -109pt {\bf Dec. 12, 1928 ---}} & A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. 
\end{longtable}
\end{document}

输出结果如下：

再次，条目的外观基本上是我想要的，但我一直找不到自动拉伸它们的方法。\renewcommand*{\arraystretch}{1.5}似乎只适用于单个页面。

此外，代码很麻烦，因为它对每个条目进行单独的垂直调整，而当条目很多时​​，这是不可行的。

因此，我想出了以下使用的“基本”代码enumerate，我可以稍后修改它以实现我想要的自动页面拉伸。

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage[lf]{electrum}
\begin{document}
\large
\begin{enumerate}
\item[\textbf{Sept. 1, 1910 ---}] A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. %\lipsum[2]
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}

产生

这似乎是一个更可行的解决方案，因为我知道如何在页面上普遍拉伸多个条目；但是，我不知道如何重新定位日期以使其出现在相邻文本顶部的下方一点。

问题：使用enumerate我所描述的包是否是使用 编写的繁琐代码的最佳替代方案longtable？如果是这样，我该如何修改代码，enumerate以便我可以将日期重新定位到默认位置以下一点。（此外，如果有更可行的方法来采用该longtable方法，或者有更好的方法来同时使用这两种方法---请提供建议。）

谢谢。

枚举环境最适合自动拉伸。

我建议使用enumitem允许您定义标签的外观（以及更多内容）的包：

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage[lf]{electrum}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\begin{document}
\large

\SetLabelAlign{crono}{\raisebox{-1ex}[0pt][0pt]{\makebox[0pt][r]{\textbf{#1 ---}}}}

\begin{description}[align=crono, itemindent=0pt, leftmargin=1cm, rightmargin=0cm, parsep=2ex]

\item[Sept. 1, 1910] A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. %\lipsum[2]

\item[September 1, 1910] A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. A description of an event. %\lipsum[2]
\end{description}
\end{document}

在上面的代码中，enumitem命令SetLabelAlign用于格式化标签。

Answer 2

一个功能强大的新表管理软件包是tabularray。包括一个 longtable 环境。

主要的优点tabularray是将表格的内容与行、列的样式分开。

通过这种方式，可以非常轻松快捷地更改和尝试新样式，而无需触及单元格内容。

看看最终的代码是多么简单，将列宽调整到适合文本区域的宽度，将第一列的字体设为粗体，并稍微降低日期。

请注意，一行完成后即进行分页。

\documentclass[12pt]{article}

\hoffset 10pt \voffset -55pt
\oddsidemargin 17pt \evensidemargin 18pt \topmargin 35pt
\headheight 25pt \textheight 8.25in \textwidth 5.75in
\headsep 40pt \marginparwidth 35pt
