Summary description: A crossover of align* and enumerate
Announcement text:
The gatherenum package (ab)uses the inline enumeration capabilities of enumitem to add a « displayed » enumeration mode, triggered by adding |gathered| to the key-val option list of the enumerate environment. The end result is similar to a regular enumerate environment wrapped in a multicols environment, with the following advantages: * gathered enumerate can pack items depending on their actual width rather than a fixed, constant number per line. * it fills items in a line-major order (instead of column-major order), which my students found less confusing. YMMV.
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/gatherenum The package’s files themselves can be inspected at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/gatherenum/

gatherenum – A crossover of align* and enumerate
This package (ab)uses the inline enumeration capabilities of enumitem to add a “displayed” enumeration mode, triggered by adding ‘gathered’ to the key-value option list of the enumerate environment. The end result is similar to a regular enumerate environment wrapped in a multicols environment, with the following advantages:
- Gathered enumerate can pack items depending on their actual width rather than a fixed, constant number per line.
- Gathered enumeration fills items in a line-major order (instead of column-major order), which my students found less confusing. YMMV.
The package depends on enumitem, expl3, and xparse,
