Una parte de mi libro "Geometrie und Topologie" es una tabla de símbolos que permite a los estudiantes encontrar rápidamente las palabras correctas cuando no entienden un símbolo. Esto facilita mucho la búsqueda a través del índice / Wikipedia / Google / math.SE. Pero actualmente no se ve muy bien.
Las fuentes completas del documento sonaquí.
Ejemplo de trabajo

Pregunta
Me gustaría saber cómo hacer que esta tabla de símbolos sea "más bonita".
Una forma de imaginar cómo mejorarlo sería alinear el contenido de la primera página debajo de la sección "Gruppen". Pero no quiero restringir las respuestas a esto.
lo que he probado
tabular
Intenté usar el tabularentorno:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% Mengenoperationen %
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\section*{Mengenoperationen}
\begin{tabular}{ll}
$A^C$ & Komplement der Menge $A$\\
$\mathcal{P}(M)$& Potenzmenge von $M$\\
$\overline{M}$ & Abschluss der Menge $M$\\
$\partial M$ & Rand der Menge $M$\\
$M^\circ$ & Inneres der Menge $M$\\
$A \times B$ & Kreuzprodukt zweier Mengen\\
$A \subseteq B$ & Teilmengenbeziehung\\
$A \subsetneq B$& echte Teilmengenbeziehung\\
$A \setminus B$ & $A$ ohne $B$\\
$A \cup B$ & Vereinigung\\
$A \dcup B$ & Disjunkte Vereinigung\\
$A \cap B$ & Schnitt
\end{tabular}
pero luego me sale esto:
detallar
\section*{Mengenoperationen}\leavevmode
\begin{itemize}
\itemsep0em
\item[$A^C$] Komplement der Menge $A$\\
\item[$\mathcal{P}(M)$] Potenzmenge von $M$\\
\item[$\overline{M}$] Abschluss der Menge $M$\\
\item[$\partial M$] Rand der Menge $M$\\
\item[$M^\circ$] Inneres der Menge $M$\\
\item[$A \times B$] Kreuzprodukt zweier Mengen\\
\item[$A \subseteq B$] Teilmengenbeziehung\\
\item[$A \subsetneq B$] echte Teilmengenbeziehung\\

\item[$A \cup B$] Vereinigung\\
\item[$A \dcup B$] Disjunkte Vereinigung\\
\item[$A \cap B$] Schnitt
\end{itemize}
da como resultado un espaciado demasiado alto:
Respuesta1
Podrías usar el xtabpaquete y su entorno xtabular. Funciona de manera muy similar al longtableentorno, en el sentido de que puede dividirse en columnas y páginas; sin embargo, también es compatible con el modo de dos columnas, aunque longtableno lo es.
Le sugiero que ajuste el ancho de la primera columna de la tabla (la columna de símbolos) para que sea lo suficientemente ancha como para contener la entrada simbólica más amplia dentro de cada sección. Luego, ajuste la segunda columna para que toda la tabla tenga un ancho de \columnwidth. Dada la medida estrecha de la segunda columna dentro de una tabla, no es aconsejable una justificación "completa". En su lugar, utilice \RaggedRight(proporcionado por el paquete ragged2e), que permite la separación de palabras. (Por el contrario, \raggedrightno permite la separación de palabras).
El ejemplo muestra solo la primera página de su ejemplo más grande.

La ventaja es que este código no utiliza tabular(ni ninguna variación del mismo).
Diferencias notables: \parskipse fija en cero; multicolsse utiliza para obtener dos columnas, por lo que los saltos de página son automáticos; \smally \raggedrightson necesarios debido a las columnas estrechas.
