Hello there ...
I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to do the following in Latex and was
wondering if anybody could help me ...
I would like to be able to define an environment or command (or something :-))
that would take a sentence (maybe as the first parameter) and split it up to
fit into a particular width. It would then take the Information associated
with the sentence (as the second parameter?) and format it within the available
width left (with a slight space between the sentence and the information).
For Example:
\item[This should be left justifi...]
This should be done as normal...
\item[This is the second item]
This is the second items desc...
would result in the following
This should This should be done as normal for a page
be left and cd ncdscnd ndfnvjdfnvjkndf jvndfdvf v

I apologise if I have not been very specific, but I can't figure it out
at all ...
I would greatly appreciate any help on this ...
Thanks in advance,
