Text Formatting ⇒ enumitem | Space around enumerated Items

[Cham]

I need to format enumerate items so there's a space at left and at right, as shown on the picture below (this was done using a standard word processor). I'm currently using the enumitem package to change the enumerate number.

How can we tell LaTeX to add some space on the right, so the item is symetrically placed in the middle of the default text ?

Hi Cham,

you could use a quote or quotation environment, or a centered parbox or minipage, and use an enumerate environment within, just without own left margin.

The enumitem manual suggests to explicitly set the right margin.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,english]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\begin{document}
  \blindtext
  \begin{enumerate}[rightmargin=\parindent]
    \item \blindtext 
  \end{enumerate}
  \blindtext
\end{document}

This is only a local setting. For global settings consult the package manual.

As always, the blindtext package has only been used to create dummy text. It is not part of the solution.

This is working great. Thanks a lot for the fast answer !
