Consider this small document:
documentclassarticle
usepackageblindtext
begindocument
blindtext
blindtext
beginenumerate
item%
blindtext
blindtext
endenumerate
enddocument
This has two paragraphs outside a list environment, and two paragraphs inside a list environment. I've noticed in this situation that paragraphs outside lists have their first line indented, whereas paragraphs inside lists do not have any indent:
Why does this occur? Can I restore the indentation inside a list?
EDIT: I notice that in lists, by default paragraphs are separated by blank lines. Preferably a solution should also get rid of that. (For context, I'm writing up a solution to an assignment, and nearly every paragraph is inside an enumerate
or similar.)

properties can be formatted with enumitem

for enumerate
environment:

The reason for this behaviour is that inside enumerate
the length parindent
is set to zero. So you can not use a simple indent
as usual in normal text to get the space of parindent
set.
You can simulate the ususal behaviour in normal text with the following code (See <=====
for important code):
documentclassarticle
usepackageblindtext
usepackageenumitem % <===============================================
newlengthenumerateparindent % <=====================================
begindocument
setlengthenumerateparindentparindent % <=========================
blindtext
blindtext
beginenumerate
setlengthparindentenumerateparindent % <=========================
%showparindent
%valueparindent
item%
blindtext
blindtext
endenumerate
Version 2:
beginenumerate[listparindent=enumerateparindent] % <================
item%
blindtext
blindtext
endenumerate
enddocument
and the wished result:
Please see that setlengthparindentenumerateparindent
does only work in that enumerate
list you placed the command inside ...
If you are already using package enumitem
-- as mentioned in an comment -- you can use it to use the same indent defined in parindent
with version 2 in my mwe.
The you get the resulting version 2:
