Text Formatting ⇒ About Left margins in nested Enumerate environment

[mturan]

Hi all,

I was trying to use enumeration environment in different levels however the text layout doesn't look like the way I want it. I searched through emunitem pdf but I couldn't come up with a solution. I might have missed some points though.

The code I provided somewhat explains the problem whereas the Jpg looks like the way I want it. Any idea is highly appreciated. Thanks

Code: Select all

What I want is to have the nested list, in the second or third level, start from the left as the main text.

Gmedina,

Thanks for the reply. The solution you showed worked for me. However I modified your code since I have already defined nested numbers and letters in my document class file. So here it goes;

Code: Select all

1
2
3
4
setenumerate{leftmargin=0pt}
setenumerate[1]{itemindent=2cm}
setenumerate[2]{itemindent=3cm}
setenumerate[3]{itemindent=4cm}
 
 
הההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההה
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Now I have nested list with 1cm increment from the left margin and all of the lines except the first one start from the left margin as I wanted to show in my previous post's attachment.

Respectfully,

MT.
