Ever wondered how to change the indentation in the LaTeX itemize environment? Well, it can’t. When you use the itemize environment in LaTeX your items (\item) will automatically be indented about 2em. Sometimes however (like me yesterday), this indentation is not needed and you want the items in you list to be aligned as the text. However in that case you will have to use the list environment. This is a general environment that can be used for any kind of list and of which the itemize is a special case. To generate an itemize without identation use the following code:
\begin{list}{\labelitemi}{\leftmargin=1em}
\item First item in the list
\item Second item
\item and so on
\end{list}
For more information on the list environment, check this website
Thanks for the tip. Solved a problem for me.
Thanks, works like a charm
Thanks, this tip helped me out with a problem. Now if only I had the time to create a few specialised list environments for my own use.
Thank you soo much!
Great! This is exactly what I needed.
Thank you!
