A legal document requires the indentation format as in Question How can I get legal style indentation on section, subsection, subsubsec.. using titlesec?. I'm using the answer to the related question automatic legal-style indentation in all ((sub)sub)sections.
The issue is with having text on the same line as the subsection number. If I put \subsection{Lorem ipsum bla bla ...}, this breaks the page formatting. My other approach is to modify the @David Carlisle answer by changing \titleformat{\subsection}[block]{}{\thesubsection}{1em}{} to [runin]. However, this produces an ident before the subsection. Here's the code
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{changepage,lipsum,titlesec}% http://ctan.org/pkg/{changepage,lipsum,titlesec}
\titleformat{\section}[block]{\bfseries}{\thesection.}{1em}{}
\titleformat{\subsection}[block]{}{\thesubsection}{1em}{}
\titleformat{\subsubsection}[runin]{}{\thesubsubsection}{1em}{}
\titlespacing*{\subsection} {\leftmargin}{3.25ex plus 1ex minus .2ex}{1.5ex plus .2ex}
\titlespacing*{\subsubsection} {\leftmargin}{3.25ex plus 1ex minus .2ex}{1.5ex plus .2ex}
\makeatletter
\let\xsection\section
\def\section{\par
\leftmargin0\p@
\leftskip\leftmargin
\@totalleftmargin\leftmargin\linewidth\textwidth
\xsection}
\let\xsubsection\subsection
\def\subsection{\par
\leftmargin20\p@
\leftskip\leftmargin
\@totalleftmargin\leftmargin\linewidth\dimexpr\textwidth-\leftmargin\relax
\xsubsection}
\let\xsubsubsection\subsubsection
\def\subsubsection{\par
\leftmargin40\p@
\leftskip\leftmargin
\@totalleftmargin\leftmargin\linewidth\dimexpr\textwidth-\leftmargin\relax
\xsubsubsection}
\begin{document}
\section{A section}
\lipsum[1]
\subsection{A subsection}
\lipsum[2]
\subsubsection{}
\lipsum[3]
\end{document}
And here's the result:
Question: How to get rid of the ident before the subsection?
