I have tried tweaking options such as labelindent and labelwidth in a somewhat haphazard manner with, say, #+attr_latex: :options [labelindent=0pt, labelwidth=10ex] but most of my attempts seem to have the main effect of just shifting the whole list to the right without right-justifying the labels. Does anyone know how to do this properly? Cheers, Loris -- This signature is currently under construction.
