I am trying to use tufte-latex's fullwidth environment in some sections, but I can't get it to work with the easylist-package as it removes the indentation.

\documentclass[nobib]{tufte-handout}
\title{Test}
\author{Tester}
\usepackage[ampersand]{easylist}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}
\maketitle
\section{Section 1}
\begin{fullwidth}
\begin{easylist}[itemize]
& \lipsum
&& \lipsum
\end{easylist}
\end{fullwidth}

\section{Section 2}
\begin{easylist}[itemize]
& \lipsum
&& \lipsum
\end{easylist}

\end{document}

In the example, Section 1 has the full width, but is missing the proper indentation. Section 2 has the proper indentation, but is missing the fullwidth.

  • You could make a full width minipage with correct indentation, as in tex.stackexchange.com/questions/48290/…

  • easylist doesn't like to be inside a list environment, which is how fullwidth is implemented: an easylist should be at the top level.

The easylist environment relies on \hangindent and \hangafter so it cannot be used inside an environment based on list, such as fullwidth, because in this environments \parshape is set, which prevails over \hangindent and \hangafter.

You can define a fullwidtheasylist, though.

\documentclass[nobib]{tufte-handout}
\title{Test}
\author{Tester}
\usepackage[ampersand]{easylist}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\newenvironment{fullwidtheasylist}
 {\hsize=\dimexpr\hsize+\csname @tufte@overhang\endcsname\easylist}
 {\endeasylist}

\begin{document}
\maketitle
\section{Fullwidth}
\begin{fullwidtheasylist}[itemize]
& \lipsum[2]
&& \lipsum[2]
\end{fullwidtheasylist}

\section{Normal}
\begin{easylist}[itemize]
& \lipsum[2]
&& \lipsum[2]
\end{easylist}

\end{document}

  • Works great for a section that is just an easylist. I sometimes put raw text and easy list together, but this works. Mar 8, 2017 at 2:08
