Flush Left text and more than 4 nests for a list

Post by railfan1975 »

Hi! I'm fairly new to LaTeX and had two questions.

1) I want all of my text to be flush left without having to declare it everytime I type a paragraph. Is there some way I can include that setting in the preamble?

2) I would like to be able to nest more than 4 times using enumerate and itemize. Is there a setting I can modify to do this or a package I can use?

Thanks!
JT

Hi JT,

1) you can use the package ragged2e, see its documentation.

2) the UK TeX FAQ gives some answer here. You can find packages dealing with the subject in the TeX Catalogue: Enumerating and Listing Items.
