[Tex/LaTex] Specifying a no-indent for a list

#enumerateindentationlists

I have the following:

This is just normal text...

\begin{enumerate}
\item First Item ?\\\\
This is the text of the first item
\item Second Item ?\\\\
This is the text of the second item
\end{enumerate}

Which renders the following:

This is just normal text...

1. First Item ?

   This is the text of the first item

2. Second Item ? 

   This is the text of the second item

I want to specify that the text of the items has no indentation. Basically, I want it to be rendered like such:

This is just normal text...

1. First Item ?

This is the text of the first item

2. Second Item ? 

This is the text of the second item

How can I specify this form of no indentation?

Using package "enumitem":

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{enumitem}

\begin{document}

\noindent Foo bar:
\begin{enumerate}[leftmargin=0cm,itemindent=.5cm,labelwidth=\itemindent,labelsep=0cm,align=left]
\item First Item ?\\
This is the text of the first item
\item Second Item ?\\
This is the text of the second item
\end{enumerate}


\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Define command for bold list-item

Assuming I understand correctly what you want, here's one way to do it:

\documentclass{article}

\let\origitem\item
\renewcommand{\item}{\normalfont\origitem}
\newcommand{\bolditem}{\normalfont\origitem\bfseries}

\begin{document}
Before the list
\begin{enumerate}
\item First item
\bolditem Second item
\item Third item
\bolditem Fourth item
\end{enumerate}
After the list
\end{document}

That produces:

Before the list

First item

Second item

Third item

Fourth item

After the list

If you want the numbers in bold font as well, put the \bfseries before the \origitem. If you want to be able to write \bolditem[A] then that will work with the \bfseries before the \origitem without further modification (but would need a modicum of modification if you don't want the numbers in bold font).

[Tex/LaTex] Non-indent lstlisting code block in enumerate

You can adjust the left margin of the lstlisting using the xleftmargin key-value. Setting it to a combination of the list depths from each respective level (-\leftmargini for the first, an additional -\leftmarginii for the second, -\leftmarginiii for the third, etc.), you can push the listing back to the original left margin of the text as if it were set without the list indentations:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{listings}

\begin{document}

\noindent
X \dotfill X

\begin{enumerate}
  \item Y \dotfill Y
  \begin{enumerate}
    \item Z \dotfill Z

\begin{lstlisting}[language=C,xleftmargin=\dimexpr-\leftmarginii-\leftmargini]
int main()
{
    cout << "hello world" << endl;
}
\end{lstlisting}

    \item Z\dotfill Z
  \end{enumerate}

\begin{lstlisting}[language=C,xleftmargin=-\leftmargini]
int main()
{
    cout << "hello world" << endl;
}
\end{lstlisting}
  \item Y \dotfill Y
\end{enumerate}

\noindent
X \dotfill X

\end{document}

The total left margin at any depth is given by \@totalleftmargin. We can utilise this by adjusting xleftmargin in the following way:

<list above>

\begin{lstlisting}[language=C,xleftmargin=\dimexpr-\csname @totalleftmargin\endcsname]
  <code>
\end{lstlisting}

<list below>
