General ⇒ Subsection content margin

[Arxas]

I would like to change left margin of subsection content. Now it looks like this:



but I want it to look like that:



Is there an easy way to do this?

Hi,

According to your description you need to change the indentation for list items; you could use the enumitem package; an example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{enumitem}

\begin{document}

\section{Test section}

\subsection{A test subsection with a really long title that spanns two lines}
\begin{enumerate}[leftmargin=8.4em,label=\textbf{Tabela\ \arabic*.}:]
  \item First item.
  \item Second item.
  \item Third item.
\end{enumerate}

\end{document}

Thank you for answer, but you misunderstood me. I would like to have bigger left margin for everything that subsection contains.

Then you could use the adjustwidth environment from the changepage package:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{changepage}
\usepackage{lipsum}% just to generate filler text

\begin{document}

\section{Test section}
\lipsum[1]

\begin{adjustwidth}{-1cm}{0pt}
\subsection{A test subsection with a really long title that spanns two lines}
\begin{enumerate}
  \item First item.
  \item Second item.
  \item Third item.
\end{enumerate}
\end{adjustwidth}

\lipsum[1]
\end{document}

Perhaps a general approach with titlesec can help. It shifts the headings numbers into the margin. The type area is accommodated with geometry. See sample code below.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,english]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage[bindingoffset=2cm,includeheadfoot,margin=2cm]{geometry}
\usepackage[bf,pagestyles,raggedright]{titlesec}
\usepackage{blindtext}

% Setup for page layout (titlesec)
\newpagestyle{main}{%
  \headrule
  \sethead[\thepage][][\thesubsecton\quad\subsectiontitle]{\thesection\quad\sectiontitle}{}{\thepage}
  \setfoot[][][]{}{}{}
}
\widenhead*{2cm}{0cm}
\pagestyle{main}

% Setup for headings (titlesec)
\titleformat{\section}{\normalfont\Large\bfseries}{\makebox[30pt][r]{\thesection}}{15pt}{}
\titleformat{\subsection}{\normalfont\large\bfseries}{\makebox[30pt][r]{\thesubsection}}{15pt}{}
\titleformat{\subsubsection}{\normalfont\normalsize\bfseries}{\makebox[30pt][r]{\thesubsubsection}}{15pt}{}
\titlespacing*{\section}{-45pt}{3.5ex plus 1ex minus .2ex}{2.3ex plus .2ex}
\titlespacing*{\subsection}{-45pt}{3.25ex plus 1ex minus .2ex}{1.5ex plus .2ex}
\titlespacing*{\subsubsection}{-45pt}{3.25ex plus 1ex minus .2ex}{1.5ex plus .2ex}

\begin{document}
  \blinddocument
\end{document}

This affects all headings. Note that the blindtext package is only used for producing the dummy document thus is not part of the solution.
