I'm using the hanging package to create paragraphs with hanging indents. From what I understand, the basic way to do this with this package is to do
\hangpara{15pt}{1}
Your paragraph.
The second sentence.
Where "15pt" is the size of the indent, and "1" is how many lines will not be indented. However, when using this with my other normal paragraphs, the first line of my hanging paragraphs is not lining up with all the other normal paragraphs. Right now my hack of a fix is just
\hspace{-3pt}
and it looks really close, but I know its not the same and its bugging me lol. How can I use the hanging package and \hangpara to get the output I desire, with all "non-indented" lines lining up? Here is an image of my current output ("non" and "Morbi" should be lining up):
And here is my code:
\documentclass[letterpaper]{article}
% For hanging indents
\usepackage{hanging}
% Even though 15pt is default but just to be precise
\setlength\parindent{15pt}
\begin{document}
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer velit nibh, viverra
vitae placerat eget, porta a ipsum. Integer ullamcorper, odio vulputate molestie
condimentum, massa tellus consectetur quam, viverra condimentum ligula nibh ut risus.
Vivamus sit amet eros eu ligula efficitur finibus vel a mauris. Ut ut est facilisis,
mollis purus in, maximus est. Praesent ut libero nec enim vulputate scelerisque. Fusce
congue dui dolor, at dictum ante pulvinar non. Quisque ultrices sagittis venenatis.
\hangpara{15pt}{1}
Morbi vitae lacus quis elit tincidunt commodo. Fusce magna massa, aliquam vitae
facilisis sit amet, feugiat non lectus. Nulla rutrum ac justo a suscipit. Duis dictum
turpis euismod velit ultricies rhoncus. Proin pellentesque id justo eu fermentum. Duis
nmi leo, scelerisque quis augue sed, ultrices fermentum elit. Maecenas in nunc
feugiat, euismod eros id, placerat lacus. Donec eu nunc augue. Proin volutpat quam a
orci aliquet porta. Cras pellentesque nibh ac diam faucibus, eu suscipit augue
aliquam. Vestibulum convallis semper fermentum.
\end{document}
If there is an alternate, simple solution that does not use the hanging package I'm all for that as well. Thanks!
\hangpara{15pt}{1}%- note the use of%at the end of the line, which avoid a so-called spurious space. See What is the use of percent signs (%) at the end of lines? – Werner Nov 07 '14 at 06:22
