There is no problem with the enumitem package, it's just that over the years I have already created quite a few customized itemize/enumerate environments using the list environment and to keep things uniform I would have liked to just create the new environment in the same way. If that's not ...

Thanks for you answer, Thorsten!
This is what it looks like with your code (the numbers are right aligned):

I've had a look at the enumitem documentation, and the ...

Thanks alot!
Looking at my document, I mixed up the odd and even pages, that's why I thought of the negative BCOR. Pretty stupid.
(Also, I tried putting the BCOR value in the document options, but that didn't work at all.)

Thanks for your answer.
My very minimal working example:

\documentclass{scrbook}
\areaset{118mm}{180mm}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\lipsum
\end{document}
To move the type area to where I need it to be, I would have to use a negative BCOR, but that doesn't work.
I guess, I only need to ...

Or does that only work with the enumitem package?

Thanks,

Thank you a lot for your indepth response. I tried your first solution and just added commands for subsection etc., but your second solution seems cleaner so I think I'll use that.

Thanks again!

Hello everyone,

could someone please tell me how I can put a period after section numbers (without then having two periods between a section and a subsection number)?

Thanks!!
