I want to create (a two column document) (an ICD-Code Cheat Sheet, Code and Text), looking something like this:
*O03.* Spontaneous Abortion *O04.* Medical Abortion *O05.* Other Abortion *O06.* Unspecified Abortion .0 Incomplete, complicated by infection .1 Incomplete, complicated by bleeding .2 Incomplete, complicated by Embolism *O08.* Complications following abortion, ectopic or mola .0 Infection, .1 Bleeding, .2 Embolism, .3 Shock, .4 Renal Failure, .5 Metabolic, .6 Injury of pelvic organs, .7 Venous, .8 Other, .9 Unspecified I am using the Description Environment, because it does make the Codes in bold and indents nicely (Description in Description). The Data Entry works very well with LyX, with LaTeX directly it is a bit cumbersome. Unfortunately the Line spacing is so big that I don't get enough lines on the page, I only want one A4 page front and back, to be laminated. This is not a LyX issue, I have of course looked immediately into the LaTeX code. Attempts such as \usepackage{setspace} \setstretch(0.25) and \spacing{0.25} don't work, I would assume this is an issue of the Description Environment. Here is a minimal example (of the above ICD Codes) \documentclass[twocolumn]{article} \usepackage{geometry} \geometry{a4paper,tmargin=1cm,bmargin=1cm,lmargin=1cm,rmargin=1cm,headheight=0cm,headsep=0cm,footskip=0cm} \pagestyle{empty} \setlength{\parindent}{0pt} \begin{document} \begin{description} \item [O03.] Spontaneous Abortion \item [O04.] Medical Abortion \item [O05.] Other Abortion \item [O06.] Unspecified Abortion \begin{description} \item [.0] Incomplete, complicated by infection \item [.1] Incomplete, complicated by bleeding \item [.2] Incomplete, complicated by embolism \end{description} \item [O08.] Complications following abortion, ectopic or mola \begin{description} \item[.0] Infection, \textbf{.1}~Bleeding, \textbf{.2}~Embolism, \textbf{.3}~Shock, \textbf{.4}~Renal Failure, \textbf{.5}~Metabolic, \textbf{.6}~Injury of pelvic organs, \textbf{.7}~Venous, \textbf{.8}~Other, \textbf{.9}~Unspecified \end{description} \end{description} \end{document} Does anyone have a Cunning Plan (tm)? It only has to work at the final production run, not necessarily for data entry. greetings, el -- If you want to email me, replace nospam with el
