How do I get the text to be aligned when using description
environment?
\begin{description}
\item[Biology] Study of life.
\item[Physics] Science of matter and its motion.
\item[Psychology] Scientific study of mental processes and behaviour.
\end{description}
When the file is generated, the labels are aligned but not the text.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
% what I want
Biology Study of life.
Physics Science of matter and its motion.
Psychology Scientific study of mental processes and behaviour.
% what I get
Biology Study of life.
Physics Science of matter and its motion.
Psychology Scientific study of mental processes and behaviour.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Now the text description itself is going to be multiline text.
