Text Formatting ⇒ Using enumeration in article document class

[schmag]

Hi.

I am wanting to use strictly bulleted sentences in the article document class. How do I go about doing that?

Also, I want to use an exceptionally small font size. I can't seem to change it.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Hi,

you could use the itemize environment to get bulleted sentences and \tiny, for example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\begin{itemize}
\tiny
	\item Test
\end{itemize}
\end{document}

For tutorials and basic documentation you could have a look here: LaTeX Introductions and Guides.

The problem is that I am trying to get it so that the items in the list are flush left.

Using \setlength{\itemindent}{-20pt} I can get the first line of each item to be as far left as I want, but the second. third, etc. lines of an item won't seem to move left (despite using \listparindent)

Also, is there a way I underline words without increasing the vertical space between adjacent lines?

Thanks again.

All your questions are answered by the following example.

Code: Select all

%\listfiles
\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,english]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage{enumitem}    % Enhancing the list environments
\usepackage{soul}        % Enable underlining with line break
\usepackage{parallel}    % Typesetting parallel in columns
\usepackage{blindtext}

\parindent0em

%Setup for list environments (enumitem)
\setenumerate{leftmargin=*}

\begin{document}
  \blindtext
  \tiny
  \begin{enumerate}
    \item \blindtext
    \item \blindtext
  \end{enumerate}
  \normalsize
  \begin{Parallel}{0.49\textwidth}{0.49\textwidth}
    \ParallelLText{\ul{The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. This quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.}}
    \ParallelRText{The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.}
  \end{Parallel}
\end{document}

For detailed descriptions refer to the manuals of the used packages. Concerning font size you may take a look at the extsizes bundle.

Thanks for the help. \listparindent doesn't seem to be working and so all the indenting isn't working as I would like.
