I have a few lines of text that I want to be aligned to look like this:





Here is the MWE:



documentclassarticle
usepackageenumitem
begindocument
begindescription[labelindent=1em ,labelwidth=1.2cm, labelsep*=1em, leftmargin =!, itemindent= 0pt, style = sameline]
item[Input:] $a_1,ldots,a_m$
item[Output:] Can we do some operation on the given input to get some outcome using this methodology and using $a_1,ldots,a_m$?
enddescription
enddocument


which provides me the output:





As alternatives, I have also tried using hspace, tried eqnarray to no avail.

You can use for example leftmargin =3cm, to get what you want.



See the complete code



documentclassarticle

usepackageenumitem

begindocument
begindescription[%
labelindent=1em,
labelwidth=1.2cm,
labelsep*=1em,
leftmargin =3cm, % <==================================================
itemindent= 0pt,
style = sameline
]
item[Input:] $a_1,ldots,a_m$
item[Output:] Can we do some operation on the given input to get some outcome using this methodology and using $a_1,ldots,a_m$?
enddescription
enddocument


and the result:



result



To get the minimal shift to right you can use the following code (use the longest word Output: to get the needed length):



begindescription[%
widest=Output:, % <===================================================
itemindent=*,
leftmargin=* % <======================================================
]
item[Input:] $a_1,ldots,a_m$
item[Output:] Can we do some operation on the given input to get some outcome using this methodology and using $a_1,ldots,a_m$?
enddescription


So the following complete code

begindescription[%
labelindent=1em,
labelwidth=1.2cm,
labelsep*=1em,
leftmargin =3cm, % <==================================================

item[Input:] $a_1,ldots,a_m$

enddescription

item[Input:] $a_1,ldots,a_m$
item[Output:] Can we do some operation on the given input to get some outcome using this methodology and using $a_1,ldots,a_m$?
