I am using enumerate (with the package enumitem) and want to make lists as in the example below.
Here is the first list:
1. Item 1.
2. Item 2.
etc.
Here is the second list:
(i) Item 1.
(ii) Item 2.
(iii) Item 3. This item is longer, to show how text should be aligned when it
wraps after the end of a line.
Here is an MWE. Setting labelindent gives the desired text wrap, but the items won't be aligned. Setting itemindent aligns the items, but messes up the text wrap.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\begin{document}
\noindent First the result by setting ``labelindent". Here is the first list:
\begin{enumerate}[leftmargin=*, labelsep=1.0em, labelindent=\parindent,
itemsep=0.0em, topsep=0.5em, label=\arabic*.]
\item Item 1.
\item Item 2.
\end{enumerate}
Here is the second list:
\begin{enumerate}[leftmargin=*, labelsep=1.0em, labelindent=\parindent,
itemsep=0.0em, topsep=0.5em, label=(\roman*)]
\item Item 1.
\item Item 2.
\item Item 3. This item is longer, to show how text should be aligned when it
wraps after the end of a line.
\end{enumerate}
Notice how the items in the two lists are not the same distance from the left
margin.
Now the solution with by setting ``itemindent". Here is the first list:
\begin{enumerate}[labelsep=1.0em, itemindent=\parindent, itemsep=0.0em,
topsep=0.5em]
\item Item 1.
\item Item 2.
\end{enumerate}
Here is the second list:
\begin{enumerate}[labelsep=1.0em, itemindent=\parindent, itemsep=0.0em,
topsep=0.5em, label=(\roman*)]
\item Item 1.
\item Item 2.
\item Item 3. This item is longer, to show how text should be aligned when it
wraps after the end of a line.
\end{enumerate}
Notice how the text in the various items is the same distance from the left margin, except
in the last line of the last item.
\end{document}
