For some reason LaTeX indents the text right after the end of a "landscape" section of my DVI output, even though I don't want it to do so. Any thoughts on how I can fix this?

    Welcome to TeX.SE. It is always best to compose a MWE that illustrates the problem including the \documentclass so that those trying to help don't have to recreate it.

    Personally, I have often solved my own problems in the process of reducing the amount of code actually required to reproduce the problem.

You can use \noindent to prevent indentation.

What is happening is that after the \end{landscape} a new paragraph is started. LaTeX adds an indent to the beginning of the paragraph unless you have globally disabled this.

So, you could either add \noindent immediately after the \end{landscape} (as per @GonzaloMedina's solution), or modify the \end{landscape} to always add a \noindent for you:

\begin{document}

\let\OldEndLandscape\endlandscape
\def\endlandscape{\OldEndLandscape\noindent}

\begin{landscape}
\lipsum[1]
\end{landscape}
\lipsum[2]
\end{document}

As per the comments, you need to ensure that there is no space after \end{landscape}, or use a % to terminate any blank lines as in:

...
\end{landscape}
   %
\lipsum[2]

If you desire an automated solution that enforces no indentation after \end{landscape}, perhaps you can use the solution at Looking for an \ignorespacesandpars.

  • But this won't work with "regular" text, since it won't take care of the space after \end{landscape}: an example: `\documentclass{article} \usepackage{lscape}

    \let\OldEndLandscape\endlandscape \def\endlandscape{\OldEndLandscape\noindent}

    \begin{document}

    \begin{landscape} a \end{landscape} b\c \end{document}of course, writingbin a new line after\end{landscape}` (which I cannot do here in this comment)

  • Good point: I have added that point to the solution. – Peter Grill Oct 24 '11 at 20:55
