Text Formatting ⇒ Remove nested List Indentation

[ghostanime2001]

When nesting an enumerate list environment inside another enumerate environment. How can you remove the second level indentation?

[kaiserkarl13]

You can use a generic list:

Code: Select all

\begin{list}{\labelenumii}{\usecounter{enumii}\leftmargin=0em}
  \item First item in the list
  \item Second item
  \item and so on
\end{list}

what about for enumerate?

Also here, you could use the enumitem package, it also has options for setting the indentation, by commands such as

Code: Select all

\setenumerate[2]{labelindent=0pt,itemindent=0pt}

Does this go in the preamble?

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Yes, as it doesn't concern a specific list, it's a general setting for level 2 for all enumerate lists. All document wide settings should go into the preamble.

I know what you mean by document wide. But how can you tell which commands are document-wide?

[Stefan Kottwitz]

I mean the commands that you would like to have document wide effect, so you can make the decision. Of course some commands have to be in the preamble, such as \usepackage. Other commands can be used afterwards, for example if you would like to change a setting in the middle of a document, or just for a certain range of text.

Can you especially help me with "Correct Alignment of nested Counters with outer Contents" post because these few posts I posted are really leading up to this post. I've tried everything to remove the whitespace on the labels in the second enumerate environment. But I just' can't align them properly
