I'm using a class file with the following:
\begin{list}{$\cdot$}{\leftmargin=0em} \itemsep -0.5em \vspace{-0.5em}}{ \end{list}This allows me to create bulleted lists. @Werner showed me how to use \indentlist{0.25in} to create nested lists (see Moving entire item rather than just indenting item).
Another part of my document uses the following format:
Text \hfill Date \\ Text \\ $\cdot$ Text \\I want to make the spacing before and after the $\cdot$ bullet directly above match the spacing in the lists elsewhere in the document. This seems to work:
\hspace*{length}$\cdot$\hspace{length} Text \\However, I'm not sure what lengths the other lists are using. Since I used \indentlist{0.25in}, perhaps \hspace*{0.25in} is correct for the space before the bullet. The list instructions posted above are given inside a subsection environment and the section environment has \setlength{\leftmargin}{1.5em}. Moving on to the space after the bullet, I'm not sure what length the lists are using. Perhaps it's a default length, but I'm not sure what the default would be. So, I'm wondering what lengths I should use for the two spaces to match the rest of the document. Perhaps there is a better approach I should use?
