How to remove space at the start of inline enumitem itemized list?












4















Here I show the out-of-the-box behaviour of an inline itemized list, and then a workaround that achieves the look I'm after. The desired look is achieved, here, by manually adding a negative space to left-align the first line of the lede. Can the alignment be made to work as desired using built in enumitem options?



documentclass{article}
usepackage[inline]{enumitem}

begin{document}

section{Introduction}
begin{itemize*}[label=,leftmargin=*,]
item In this Introduction we have recalled the textbf{necessary
background} on sonic screwdrivers, and presented textbf{supporting
material} to frame our research.
end{itemize*}

    Sorry for asking, but what is the purpose then of doing this as a list?

    see the afterlabel option, setting it to afterlabel=, aka no value seems to work. I still do not understand the use case though.

  • I started with a bullet list, and now just want to change how it looks. I realise I could get the text to flow in the usual way if I remove the list markup, but it feels like enumitem should be able to take care of that for me. That way I can preserve the logical structure.

For inline lists there are a few extra options. For example afterlabel by default inserts a non-breaking space (a same as ~) after the list label. Since there are no label here, the non breaking space is clearly visible.



Using



afterlabel=,


sets this value to be empty, and the space goes away.
