Dear all,
how do I decrease the horizontal whitespace between the symbol and the text in an item[ize] list? The manual suggests this:
\startitemize[1*serried] \item Test \stopitemize
It's not working, I get the same distance as with no option at all . Test But I wanted . Test
In fact, the option <<n>>*serried does not have any effect, whereas <<n>>*broad is working properly. Any suggestions?
You can use absolute values: \startitemize[width=1em,distance=0pt]
Great! I will add that to the wiki.
From testing I assume "width" controls the width of the symbol (i.e. symbol space, if the symbol is not very wide) and "distance" an additional distance from the symbol's right edge. So one will get the same results from these 2: Width=0pt,distance=1em Width=1em,distance=0pt
