I'm working with the Deedy Resume template, which provides a custom itemize environment:

\newenvironment{tightemize}{\vspace{-\topsep}\fontspec[Path = fonts/raleway/]{Raleway-Regular}\color{primary}\fontsize{10pt}{12pt}\begin{itemize}\itemsep1pt \parskip0pt \parsep0pt}{\end{itemize}\vspace{-\topsep}}

It's leading to something like a 4 space indent in front of each bullet point. I'm trying to reduce the width...to 2 spaces or flush against the margin, let's say.

I've found itemize, removing natural indent, but when I try adding [leftmargin=*] after \begin{tightemize} when it's actually used, and random places after \begin{itemize} in the \newenvironment, but never got it working. Any suggestions? Never really worked with environment definitions to this extent.

Thanks!

  • Welcome to TeX SX! See if the standard itemize, with parameters set by package enumitem works with your template (try \begin{itemize}[nosep, wide=0pt, leftmargin=*]\item ...\end{itemize}). – Bernard May 10 '20 at 21:15
  • \begin{itemize} works by itself, but when I add [nosep, wide=0pt, leftmargin=*], [nosep,wide=0pt,leftmargin=*]hihello shows up on the page – Mark May 10 '20 at 21:22
  • Please post a minimal, yet complete, code showing the problem. – Bernard May 10 '20 at 21:23
  • \newenvironment{tightemize}{\vspace{-\topsep}\fontspec[Path = fonts/raleway/]{Raleway-Regular}\color{primary}\fontsize{10pt}{12pt}\begin{itemize}\itemsep1pt \parskip0pt \parsep0pt}{\end{itemize}\vspace{-\topsep}} is the definition.

    Then I use it like so:

    \begin{tightemize}
    \item 1
    \item 2
\end{tightemize}

    In the simplified case, I'm using \begin{itemize}[nosep, wide=0pt, leftmargin=*] \item 1 \item 2 \end{itemize} it only shows up as "[nosep,wide=0pt,leftmargin=*]hihello"

  • But can't you use the equivalent itemize environment, with parameters set by enumitem? – Bernard May 10 '20 at 22:13
  • Overleaf is showing an Undefined Control Sequence error when compiling, but the page is loading up the same between using \item and \enumitem

    I did get some luck with \setlength{\leftmargini}{10pt}, which does it for everything and I'd be okay with that. Is there a nicer solution?

  • The nicer solution would be using enumitem. I'm not sure I was quite clear. enumitem is the name of the package. You still have to use the \item command, not \enumitem, which does not exist. – Bernard May 10 '20 at 22:29
