Re: margin option in itemize

[Curiouslearn <curiouslearn@gmail.com>]

Thanks Wolfgang and Luigi. Luigi's solution worked well.
Unfortunately, left={hspace[normal]} did not give the desired outcome.
The item symbols were still at their original location.

I have a follow up question. Based on your solution I also tried
left=\hskip 2.10em, which works too? Is there a reason why \kern is
better than \hskip?

Thanks.
