Text Formatting ⇒ Indentation (Times Two)

[svend_tveskaeg]

Dear LaTeX friends.

First, please take a look at the attached TeX file. (I know it is not a MWE but last time I tried to create one, my MWE file was not sufficient.) The resulting PDF file is also attached.

Two questions:

(1) In my homemade citation command the `---' is in the margin. How do I fix this problem?

(2) The last sentence in \item three in the enumerate environment is not indentet. How do I fix this problem?

Thanks in advance!

PS. I use the dvips option to the geometry package since I will have to use graphics later---pdftex conflict!

Change \usepackage{microtype} to \usepackage[protrusion=false]{microtype}, or look at the other options available from the microtype package.

(2) The last sentence in \item three in the enumerate environment is not indentet. How do I fix this problem?

Nothing else in the document is indented, so it seems a bit strange you want this indented, but indentation is usually turned off inside enumerations. Probably best to add some space manually:

\hspace{1.5em} Eleverne ...

What kind of graphics do you need to add, and how are you compiling? You may want to use the epstopdf package so you can keep compiling with pdftex rather than go through dvips.

That shouldn't keep you from trying again. The last time was a bad coincident which can happen. So, next time please build a MWE again.

[…] In my homemade citation command the `---' is in the margin. How do I fix this problem? […]

I tested several modifications. Obviously the long dash has outstanding properties. So I would consider the code below more as a workaround.

Code: Select all

% Letter notationen.
\newcommand{\bog}[1]{\textsl{#1}}
\newcommand{\citat}[2]{%
  \noindent\emph{#1}\newline%
  \vphantom{0}{---} \bog{Fælles Mål 2009: Matematik}, side~$#2$%
}

At the moment I can't explain this behaviour. Perhaps somebody else can.

[…] The last sentence in \item three in the enumerate environment is not indentet. How do I fix this problem? […]

Modify the according enumerate environment as shown below.

Code: Select all

\begin{enumerate}[label=(\arabic*),leftmargin=*,labelsep=\parindent,parsep=0pt,listparindent=\parindent]
% contents
\end{enumerate}

The list parameter \listparindent is usually intialized with Zero so there is no indentation by default.

[…] PS. I use the dvips option to the geometry package since I will have to use graphics later---pdftex conflict! […]

That doesn't matter. You won't need this option. Use the epstopdf package to convert your graphics files. Note the instructions in the manual.

Addendum:
Regarding the first issue the solution of frabjous seems to better.

Thanks for the solution to both of my problems!

I did not make myself clear at first, sorry: The reason why I use the dvips driver for the geometry package is that I am using the pspicture environment---I never use external graphics (unless I have no other choise).

Thanks for helping me, both of you!

PS. I will try to create a MWE in the future.

Just believe when you are told that you don't need that option. Especially not when using pstricks. These driver options once where meant to help packages like color, graphicx or hyperref in supporting different compiler engines. Nowadays these packages detect on their own which compiler engine is running and load the appropriate driver themselves.

Okay, thank you!

I have now put a check mark at the first entry.
