Suppress indentation after environment in LaTeX
- by David
I'm trying to create a new environment in my LaTeX document where indentation in the next paragraph following the environment is suppressed.
I have been told (TeXbook and LaTeX source) that by setting \everypar to {\setbox0\lastbox}, the TeX typesetter will execute this at the beginning of the next paragraph and thus remove the indentation:
\everypar{\setbox0\lastbox}
So this is what I do, but to no effect (following paragraph is still indented):
\newenvironment{example}
{\begin{list}
{}
{\setlength\leftmargin{2em}}}
{\end{list}\everypar{\setbox0\lastbox}}
I have studied LaTeX's internals as well as I could manage. It seems that the \end routine says \endgroup and \par at some point, which may be the reason LaTeX ignores my \everypar setting. \global doesn't help either. I know about \noindent but want to do this automatically.
Example document fragment:
This is paragraph text. This is paragraph text, too.
\begin{example}
\item This is the first item in the list.
\item This is the second item in the list.
\end{example}
This is more paragraph text. I don't want this indented, please.
Internal routines and switches of interest seem to be \@endpetrue, \@endparenv and others. Thanks for your help.
