How to create a list in two columns with symbols label












6














Please consider this MWE:



documentclass{article}
usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
usepackage[english]{babel}
usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

begin{document}

{scriptsizebegin{itemize}
item Item 1
begin{itemize}
item Item 1a
item Item 1b
end{itemize}
item Item 2
begin{itemize}
item Item 2a
item Item 2b
end{itemize}
end{itemize}}

end{document}


One column



I want to put Item 2 and its subitems in a new column to the right of Item 1:



Two columns



However, I do not know how to achieve it.



I tried using tasks package but I am not able to:




  1. Find the same indentation of the items with the margin or with their descriptions.

  2. Move the second item and its subitems to a new column.

  3. Find the same symbol of the middle bar that itemize has at its second depth level (textendash is a bit shorter).


This is what I tried:



documentclass{article}
usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
usepackage[english]{babel}
usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

usepackage{tasks}

begin{document}

{scriptsizebegin{tasks}[style=itemize](2)
task Item 1
{begin{tasks}[item-indent=2pt](1)
task[textendash] Item 1a
task[textendash] Item 1b
end{tasks}}
task Item 2
{begin{tasks}[item-indent=2pt](2)
task[textendash] Item 2a
task[textendash] Item 2b
end{tasks}}
end{tasks}}

end{document}

            @manooooh its okay. Here, minipage do the same work as multicolumn, and the outline package is preferable over multiple use of itemize. Also {scriptsize} can be replaced by two scriptsize as in flav's answer.

            @manooooh its okay. Here, minipage do the same work as multicolumn, and the outline package is preferable over multiple use of itemize. Also {scriptsize} can be replaced by two scriptsize as in flav's answer.
