Text Formatting ⇒ enumitem | Multi-lined Items in enumerated List

[ghss]

Hello,

I am using package enumitem to generate the following list as in the attachment using this code

Code: Select all

% long line in Enumitems
\documentclass[10pt,twoside]{book} 
\usepackage{enumitem}

\begin{document}
  \begin{enumerate}[label={\it Problem \arabic* (my  problem)}:,leftmargin=*,labelindent=0pt]
    \item This is first line \\
          This is second line.
    \item short line
  \end{enumerate}
\end{document}

Is it possible to print the the second line in first item just below "Problem 1". This means I need "this is second line" with no indent.

thanks

Perhaps something like this.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{enumitem}

\begin{document}
  \begin{enumerate}[label={\textit{Problem \arabic* (my  problem)}:},fullwidth]
    \item This is first line \\
          This is second line.
    \item short line
  \end{enumerate}
\end{document}

Thanks Thorsten.

And if i want to indent whole text in enumitem with some margin (say \parindent) with the same feature in my first post i.e. text in second line just start below the label of item.

In this case you have to specify a left margin that is slightly bigger than the width of the label.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,fleqn]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{enumitem}

\begin{document}
  \noindent Preceding text.
  \begin{enumerate}[label={\textit{Problem \arabic* (my  problem)}:},leftmargin=13em]
    \item This is first line \\
          This is second line.
    \item short line
  \end{enumerate}
  Following text.
\end{document}
