I am experiencing a small problem with LaTex and I was wondering if anyone knew how to solve it. I am using the \begin{itemize}...\item...\end{itemize} environment where one of the \item's text contains square brackets ( [] ). This is causing that item to appear about 1 inch over to the left from where it should be when printed. I have tried \[ without success. My guess as to the root of the problem is that LaTex is confusing the {itemize} environment with the {description} environment. Any and all suggestion on how to work around this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Try putting them within braces, like: \begin{itemize} \item blahblah {[}further blahblah{]} some more of it \item {[the ultimate blah]} end--of--blahblah \end{itemize} I haven't tried this, but I think it works... | Mr. Tuna Ertemalp | Mailbox #659 | Small things together | | Stanford University | Crothers Memorial Hall | form the quality, | | Computer Science MS | Stanford, CA 94305, USA | But quality is not a | | Ertem@Polya.Stanford.Edu | (415) 328-8515 | small thing! |
