Text Formatting ⇒ enumitem and paralist and parskip error

[svend_tveskaeg]

Hi LaTeX friends.

First, take a look at the attached TeX file.

For some reason the document will not compile using

Code: Select all

latex test.tex

It does, however, compile just fine if I remove the paralist package. I would really like to have the inparaenum environment, though.

It is probably do to a very trivial error but I simply cannot figure out the problem (or the solution).

Thansk in advance!

It works after swapping enumitem and paralist.


Best regards

Dear Thorsten.

I thought that my MWE was good enough but obviously it is not! If I swap the two aforementioned packages in my "real" TeX document it still will not compile. I have attached my "real" document (and the log file).

Thanks in advance!

In the last enumerate environment there is a line where a backslash is missing.

Code: Select all

\setlength{\parskip}{0pt}

By the way, inside the environment this line has no effect. For lists you have to modify the length \parsep. In this case you can give this as optional argument to the enumerate environment.

Code: Select all

\begin{enumerate}[parsep=0pt]
% list contents
\end{enumerate}

I do not follow you, unfortunately. Could you please write exactly what I have to change?

Thank you very much for helping me!

Compare what you wrote …

Code: Select all

\setlength{parskip}{0pt}

… with the line I wrote …

Code: Select all

\setlength{\parskip}{0pt}

… and you will see what I mean.

Oh dear! Embarrassing!

Thank you very much!
