Math & Science ⇒ Using '\smash', '\llap' or '\rlap' Commands in 'enumerate'

[ghostanime2001]

How can I use \smash, \llap or \rlap for \item in an enumerate environment?

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Just write the command and the argument therein.

This question ist not very specific. Perhaps elaborate what you mean.

[ghostanime2001]

Do you mean like this? \llap{\item} ? OR \item{\llap} ?

[Stefan Kottwitz]

I mean the latter, such as \item{\llap{text}}.

Stefan

[ghostanime2001]

NO no i mean collapsing the label itself using \smash or \rlap or \llap

[Stefan Kottwitz]

You could use the enumitem package which provides commands for such lists customizations.

I've read that package a zillion times. Nothing in there helps with what I want.

Please explain what it is you want. Otherwise, it's going to be hard to provide any help.

have a look at "Correct Alignment of nested Counters with outer Contents" post that I posted. This is ultimately what I am trying to do. By removing whitespace around the \item still doesn't help.
