I'm trying to have a list with no labels and no indentation – aligned at the same left margin as the preceding text. Why doesn't this work? :
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\noindent No indentation --- before the \verb|list|.
\begin{list}{}{}
\setlength{\leftmargin}{0pt}
\setlength{\labelwidth}{0pt}
\setlength{\labelsep}{0pt}
\item \lipsum[2]
\end{list}
\end{document}

It works if you set the length parameters within the second argument of
\begin{list}
:You may also use a
trivlist
environment. Quoting Lamport, LaTeX: A document preparation system, p. 115:
