General ⇒ Strange Indentations of Paragraphs

[Politecnica]

Hello,

I am having an issue with my thesis. I have written my thesis using classicthesis. It is around 105 pages long.

The problem is that in the last chapter{Conclusions} there appear some strange indents (not regular ones), where in fact they are meant to be, of the body text, of the sections and the first 2 lines of the body text.

I'm using minitoc, after the Conclusions chapter there is the bibliography and I don't have issues there. I'm also using lettrine and I believe it is this package producing this effect somehow.

The strangeness is that I use lettrine at each chapter start, but it produces this strange indent only on the last one. In fact the indent seems created to make room for a ghost initial character.

Anybody got any clue?

Hi Politecnica,

Welcome to the LaTeX community!

Could you add a minimal working example (with focus on minimal) that let's us reproduce your issue? Otherwise it will be hard help.

Thank you for the timely response.

In fact, following your hint on the minimal working example and hacking backwards I managed to find the flaw.

In previous chapters I had some definitions declared but they weren't enclosed in {} as self-standing group.

Code: Select all

(\theoremstyle{definition}
\newtheorem{definition}{Definition}[section])

Inclosing the definition in {} solved this issue, e.g. like this.

Code: Select all

{\definition lorem ipsum dolor sit amet}

Thank You again!
Have a good day!
