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}

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

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}

Comparison:

Thanks!

Using multicol package :

documentclass{article}

usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

usepackage[english]{babel}

usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

usepackage{multicol}



begin{document}





begin{multicols}{2}

  scriptsize

  begin{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{multicols}

end{document}

Using minipage

documentclass{article}

usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

usepackage[english]{babel}

usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

usepackage{outlines}

begin{document}

{scriptsize

begin{minipage}{.5linewidth}

    begin{outline}

        1 Item 1

        2 Item 1a

        2 Item 1b 

    end{outline}

end{minipage}

begin{minipage}{.5linewidth}

    begin{outline}

        1 Item 2

        2 Item 2a

        2 Item 2b 

    end{outline}

end{minipage}}

end{document}
