Text Formatting ⇒ How to stop labels from ending up in the margin?

[Sleft]

Is there a way to stop labels from ending up in the margin? Here is an example where the last two labels is clearly in the left margin:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{enumitem}

\begin{document}

\begin{enumerate}[start=22,label=(\arabic*)]
\item Bla bla bla\ldots
\end{enumerate}
\lipsum[1]
\begin{enumerate}[start=22,label=(\arabic*$'$)]
\item Bla bla bla\ldots
\end{enumerate}
\lipsum[2]
\begin{enumerate}[start=22,label=(\arabic*$''$)]
\item Bla bla bla\ldots% Due to its length this label ends up in the left margin
\end{enumerate}
\lipsum[3]
\begin{enumerate}[label=(\textsc{ok}$'$)]
\item Bla bla bla\ldots% Due to its length this label ends up in the left margin
\end{enumerate}
\lipsum[4]

\end{document}

Try futzing around with the additional enumitem package options (see its documentation), such as widest= and leftmargin=* or leftmargin=(fixed length).

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{enumitem}

\begin{document}

\begin{enumerate}[start=22,label=(\arabic*),leftmargin=*,widest=22]
\item Bla bla bla\ldots
\end{enumerate}
\lipsum[1]
\begin{enumerate}[start=22,label=(\arabic*$'$),leftmargin=*,widest=22]
\item Bla bla bla\ldots
\end{enumerate}
\lipsum[2]
\begin{enumerate}[start=22,label=(\arabic*$''$),leftmargin=*,widest=22]
\item Bla bla bla\ldots% Due to its length this label ends up in the left margin
\end{enumerate}
\lipsum[3]
\begin{enumerate}[label=(\textsc{ok}$'$),leftmargin=*]
\item Bla bla bla\ldots% Due to its length this label ends up in the left margin
\end{enumerate}
\lipsum[4]

\end{document}

Thanks for answering and answering fast. Appreciated.

I got it working the way I wanted it by setting left margin in enumerate. I tried different values until the margin was big enough to fit the longest labels. The finished example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{enumitem}

\setenumerate[1]{leftmargin=33pt}

\begin{document}

\lipsum[1]
\begin{enumerate}[label=(\arabic*)]
\item Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla\ldots
\end{enumerate}
\begin{enumerate}[start=1,label=(\arabic*$'$)]
\item Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla\ldots
\end{enumerate}
\begin{enumerate}[start=22,label=(\arabic*$''$)]
\item Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla\ldots
\end{enumerate}
\begin{enumerate}[label=(\textsc{ok}$'$)]
\item Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla\ldots
\end{enumerate}
\lipsum[2]


\end{document}
