Output
where challenges
- at second item and onward, a small space before the line; I do not want to this. How to get this rid of this little space before new item?
- The right-column is interfering the left-column. I do not want this. How can you stop auto-adjust of left-column in the expense of the right-column? At the end, better example with more data about the challenge.
Illustrating the second point better with the output:
where no messing up of text but autoadjust of the left-column with the right-column at the line 2.
I think the initial space at the beginning of lines can the source of the problems. How can you have lines without the initial space?
\setlength{\parindent}{0pt}˛
., however you have problem with hyphenation of words "syndrome", "sindroms" etc.
