I'm having problems with spaces and tabbings

Post by ltaravilse »

Hi, i'm new in this forum so I didn't know where to post so I did it here...
I'm having a little problem with tabbings and spaces...
In first place, I need to know how to avoid the tabbing that the first line in all documents have... and in second place I need to know how can I use tabbings at the beggining of the line.. like this:

I write here
and then here

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Hi,

you may use \noindent for suppressing the paragraph indentation, and \indent to add an indentation. A small example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}
\begin{document}
\noindent text text text

\noindent text text text\\
\indent text text text

text text text
\end{document}
You can change the length of paragraph indentation by changing \parindent:

Code: Select all

\setlength{\parindent}{value}
