I am a LaTeX newbie and would appreciate some guidance.  How can I achieve paragraph headers like this?   The associated paragraph does not go down all the way to the left, but rather it is as if the headers and the paragraphs are in separate columns.
is exactly what I'm looking for. I want my description environment to produce this:  Label is long   text  lab2            blalballalaa label3          possible second rule label four      hello world   Someone offered this:  \newenvironment{mydescription}[1]                                                   {\begin{list}{}%    {\renewcommand\makelabel[1]{##1:\hfill}%    \settowidth\labelwidth{\makelabel{#1}}%    \setlength\leftmargin{\labelwidth}    \addtolength\leftmargin{\labelsep}}}   {\end{list}}   Which works great (the parameter is the longest label), except I think the enumitem should be able to do this. Unfortunately, the documentation for it is extremely confusing to me. Could someone show me how to achieve the same result with enumitem?
If I have the following enum:  public enum ReturnValue{     Success = 0,     FailReason1 = 1,     FailReason2 = 2     //Etc... }   Can I avoid casting when I return, like this:  public static int main(string[] args){     return (int)ReturnValue.Success; }   If not, why isn't an enum value treated as an int by default? Is the C# "explicit implementation" of the interface present in Java? In C#, if you have two base interfaces with the same method (say, F()) you can use explicit implementation to perform different impl. for F(). This alloes you to differently treat the object, corresponding to the current point of view: as IMyInterface1 or IMyInterface2. Is this possible in Java? Duplicates of duplicates should be remapped I noticed today another example of duplicates of duplicates: that  (A) was closed as a duplicate of  (B), but one day later (B) was closed as duplicate of  (C). Sometimes I need to click many times from one question to another until I get to the master question.  I think that it's better if the question (A) is closed as duplicate of (C), and even if (B) has already (helpful) answers, (B) and (C) could be merged.  Is it possible to remap all duplicates to the master question, just like the tag synonyms? I am trying to prove the following identities:  a. $$\sum_{k=0}^n(-1)^k{n\choose k}^2 = \bigg\{^{0 \ \text{if k is odd}}_{(-1)^m{2m\choose m} \ \text{if n = 2m}}$$ b. $$\sum^k_{i=0} {n+i \choose i}={n+k+1\choose k}$$  For part $b$ I know I can use induction. It is clearly true when $k=0$ and then assuming for $k-1$ we get $$\sum^k_{i=0}{n+i\choose i}={n+k\choose k-1}+{n+k \choose k}={n+k+1\choose k} \ ...$$ Beginner Physics Resources? I'm interested in learning physics. I do realize that the subject is large and that it would be easier if I had a specific area of interest. However, I do not. I suppose I want to learn about the fundamentals of it all; the axioms that combine all physics fields. Or, in other words, a high school physics class.   Specifically, a book or series of videos would be helpful. I looked over MIT and unfortunately the material wasn't for me. I don't mean to be "picky" so I am not completely ruling out any resource just yet.   Thanks in advance. What is the reason for the top secret two space newline markdown weirdness?

Why time is considered a dimension? I've noticed that if I downvote an answer, the record of the downvote is visible to me in my profile.  But when I view my profile from another browser that's not logged into Stack Overflow, I've noticed that I don't see the record of the downvote.  So I was wondering if the downvote record is visible only to me?  If so, is this done to protect downvoters from retaliation? I am beginning with Abstract Algebra and I'm trying to understand Lagrange's Theorem. The theorem reads      For any finite group $G$, the order of every subgroup $H$ of $G$ should divide the order of $G$.   It seems simple and I've used it to solve some exercices but I believe I'm missing the essence of it. Is there an example that can help me understand it better, or visualize it? Is there a geometric interpretation? On the one side, the USA is just one country. Logic says it should be, then, singular, just like the United Kingdom is. Example:     The USA owns this domain.   On the other side, if I however expand "the USA" to "the United States of America", I'd tend towards using plural &mdash; the noun the verb agrees with, "States," is definitely plural. Example:     The United States of America own this domain. → The USA own this domain.   What form should I prefer?
