When you itemize items you usually have the entire list indented. This is expected when you have a title or description of what you are listing. I want to itemize but not have the natural indent....
1 I am trying to find the default top, bottom, left, right page margins for \documentclass {article} along with the top, bottom, indent for title, section, subsection, etc. I am looking also of section/sub-subsections text size along with respective margins and paragraph indent.
I am looking for a way to add an indentation after setting \\parindent to 0. I tried a suitable amount of search, but none really seemed to meet my needs. I tried to change the command \\indent by
2 You should never need \noindent but as it changes the indent it changes the line breaking for the entire paragraph. The third paragraph shows there is nothing special about \noindent here, you get the same line breaks with a longer last line by keeping indentation but removing a word Lorem from the first line \documentclass[12pt, a4paper ...
The latter describes the visual effect I am looking for, but since I am typing out a conversation (which means a lot of indented newlines), I hope to find a more elegant command for this, so I don't have to fill my source code with empty lines or \\ \indent everywhere. Is there such a command?
One can use \indent to produce a horizontal space equal to the width of the paragraph indentation. The [showframe] option was used with the geometry package to show the margins so that the indentation is clearly shown.
I am writing a thesis report using LaTeX and I need to add indentations because every new paragraph starts from the initial position on the left. How do I add indentations?
The set up works fine except if listb is the first paragraph in lista. In this case, listb begins with an indent thanks to the \itemindent setting in lista. What options do I have to modify lista and/or listb to get consistent behaviour of listb within lista regardless of whether it is the first paragraph or a subsequent paragraph?
Of course normally typeset text has paragraph indent. What kind of text is it that you are writing where you don't want paragraph indentation? Maybe the real solution is that you use a document class that is meant for the type of text you are writing.
