Text Formatting ⇒ Using indent with ragged2e and page numbering position

[etp94]

Hi!

I've been using ragged2e package in order to get all my document left justified. Since I'm using this package LaTex stop generating indents at the beginning of my paragraphs.

I'm trying to use:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,openany]{report}
\usepackage[document]{ragged2e}
\usepackage{parskip}

\setlength\parindent{0.5 in}

But it's not working, also I'm using this commands in order to get 1 inch margins:

Code: Select all

	
\addtolength{\oddsidemargin}{-.875in}
\addtolength{\evensidemargin}{-.875in}
\addtolength{\textwidth}{1.75in}
\addtolength{\topmargin}{-.875in}
\addtolength{\textheight}{1.75in}

1.- Is some of this configurations makes LaTex to stop the paragraph indentation?

2.- Does anybody knows how to use the page numbering in the fashion that is showed in the file attached at this topic? (I've been using \pagenumbering{roman or arabic} command)

Thanks for reading! :)

If you use the parskip package it sets the paragraph indent to zero and the paragraph skip to some non-zero value. Remove the package and the indent will be back.

\pagenumbering{arabic} (as in the picture you show) is the default for a LaTeX document (unless you're using a non-common document class maybe) so I'm really unsure what your actual question is. I'm guessing you're asking how to get the page number from the footer to the header?

Thanks for answering! :)

In my last topic:

http://www.latex-community.org/forum/vi ... 44&t=28168

I've been suggested to use parskip package instead of double backslash (because the double backslash does not work with ragged2e package), I want to have both indent and blank line between every paragraph, is there a solution or parskip package is not compatible with indentation?

I'm guessing you're asking how to get the page number from the footer to the header?

Yes that is my question (sorry for not being clear)

ragged2e sets \parindent to zero. That's intended, because indented lines in ragged documents look bad. But you can still adjust it. Use this after loading ragged2e:

\setlength{\RaggedRightParindent}{0.5in}

Two examples:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{parskip}
\setlength\parindent{1em}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}

\lipsum

\end{document}

Thanks a lot!!

One more question:

How can I get the page number from the footer to the header?

Really thanks a lot!! :)

This seems to be a new question, but popular packages are scrlayer-scrpage and fancyhdr. It is quite easy, but if you have questions, don't hesitate to open a new thread. ;-)
