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}
