Text Formatting ⇒ enumitem | Indentation for whole Item in an enumerated List

[andrewejaffe]

Hey,

This is my first post, so hopefully I'm clear, and posting this to the right place.

I'm trying to create an enumerated list, where each list element is multi-lined. I was to align the entire list element about 0.75cm away from the left margin. My current code almost does what I want, except for it only indents the first line of the list element, and not the subsequent lines. Here is my code:

Code: Select all

\begin{enumerate}[leftmargin=0cm,itemindent=.75cm,labelwidth=\itemindent,labelsep=0cm,align=left,label={[\arabic*]}]

\item fadajakdhfjadshfadsjhflahlahdjsakfadfadfhadsjfhalsdjfjasdjfhadsfjhdlkfahdslflhadjfhaldsfh
\item fadajakdhfjadshfadsjhflahlahdjsakfadfadfhadsjfhalsdjfjasdjfhadsfjhdlkfahdslflhadjfhaldsfh

\end{enumerate}

I tried \hangindent from the hanging package, but it didn't seem to do anything...Any help would be great, thanks in advance for your time

Hi Andrew,

Welcome to the LaTeX community!

Maybe something like this is what you want:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\usepackage{lipsum}% for dummy text
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1]
\begin{enumerate}[leftmargin=.75cm,labelsep=0cm,align=left,label={[\arabic*]}]
  \item \lipsum[1]
  \item \lipsum[2]
\end{enumerate}

\end{document}

Regards

That's a little different than I was imagining. Basically I wanted something like this, with no left margin, and the multi-line element indented (not just the first line:

Code: Select all

[1] Aadsfjadshfadjkshfa
    asdsadfdsafadsfadsfasd
    fadsfdafadfadfadfadsf

This is what [leftmargin=0cm,itemindent=.75cm] looks like:
[1] ASdsjkdhsakjdhas
sdjhsldhsdjkasdhsadk
dsjkadhjkasdhasjdhjk

Do you know the specific options to enable this? Thanks in advance.

This is how my code from above looks like:

Isn't that what you just described?
