[Tex/LaTex] Indentation after ‘\tabular’ environments

horizontal alignmentindentationtables

I was filling some tables for my progress report and noticed something were odd. The following text/tables are indented. MWE:

\documentclass[12pt, oneside]{book}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage[paper = a4paper, margin = 1in, headheight = 12pt, includehead, showframe]{geometry}

\begin{document}
 \section*{Section 1}
  \subsection*{Subsection 1}
   \begin{tabular}{ l l p{0.5cm} l l }
    TextText: & TextText & & TextText & TextText\\
    TextText & TextText & & TextText & TextText
   \end{tabular}
   \vspace{12pt}
   {\scriptsize{\bfseries{Little note!}}}
   \vspace{12pt}
   \begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{| X |}
    \hline
    \bfseries{Tabletitle}\\
    \hline
    \\ \\ \\
    \hline      
   \end{tabularx}
\end{document}

Is that really the normal behaviour and is there any other way as \begin{flushleft} ... \end{flushleft} to remove the indentation a get the right alignment?

Best Answer

You can turn off indentation globally by adding \setlength{\parindent}{0pt} or if you only want to turn it of for the table add a \noindent before\begin{..}. Compare also this post: How to disable automatic indentation on new paragraphs?
