I need your help in Latex. I want to do
\begin{descrition}
\item[ this] Description of 'this'
\item{ is] Description of 'is'
\item{ a] Description of 'a'
\item{ test] Description of 'test'
\end{descrition}
As you can see, the margins between the items and the descriptions vary.
I want these margins to be fixed, like this
\begin{descrition}
\item[ this] Description of 'this'
\item{ is] Description of 'is'
\item{ a] Description of 'a'
\item{ test] Description of 'test'
\end{descrition}
This can be done if I used the tabular enviroment, but my description
list is longer than one page, and the tabular enviroment does not allow
the page breaking in a middle of the tabular enviroment.
Please send your suggestion to: totran@glider.lerc.nasa.gov
Thanks in advance.
