Text Formatting ⇒ Remove Indentation from Lists

[AleCes]

Hi everybody.

If I

Code: Select all

\begin{itemize}
\item blah
\item blah
\end{itemize}

or

Code: Select all

\begin{enumerate}
\item blah
\item blah
\end{enumerate}

the indentation of the first line remains in subsequent lines. I'd like to remove that by default, how can I do that?

Thanks

It requires a proper minimal example to demonstrate what you mean. At the moment I don't have the slightest idea of the problem.

Sorry, I thought that saying I used enumerate & itemize could suffice:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper, 12pt, openany]{book}
\usepackage{a4wide}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\defaultfontfeatures{Mapping=tex-text}
\setmainfont{Tinos}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setmainlanguage{french}
\usepackage{xunicode}
\usepackage{xltxtra}

\begin{document}
    \begin{itemize}
    \item blah
    \item blah
    \end{itemize}

   \begin{enumerate}
   \item blah
   \item blah
   \end{enumerate}

\end{document}

I hope that's all right now.

I'm still not able to recognize the problem. All items consist of one line. Which indentation exactly do you mean? And what in this context are the subsequent lines you mentioned.

[AleCes]

OK, sorry, pretend there's more than one blah, let's say there are 100 blahs.

[localghost]

Even if the items have more than one line. Where exactly is the problem? Perhaps you can enlighten me. I still can't figure out which indentation you mean. Seems that I get my wires crossed.

[AleCes]

In normal text, only the first line is indented while on lists all lines are indented. I just want to prevent that.

[localghost]

Sorry, I'm still unable to make sense of that. Are these lists supposed to appear with the width of the text body? Please give a visual example.

If you wonder why I ask all these questions you should know that there are several list parameters which determine several indentation properties of lists. So you should be more specific.

Hi localghost,

I uploaded a screenshot of the PDF in question. You can see the lines after the first in the list are still indented, while the bulk of the text (the two lines above) is not.

I hope it might help you to understand it.

Greetings

Bump! Have you taken a look at my example?
