Page Layout ⇒ left margin not able to set to zero

[alain]

Hi,

I'm new to Latex world and I'm trying to understand why I can not set left margin to 0.
I read several tutorials on internet but none of them work in my case and I was thinking what's going wrong.

I want to use a A4 paper with no margin at top, left, right, bottom sides. So my code is:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[a4paper,total={210mm,297mm},margin=0mm]{geometry}



\begin{document}
\hspace{0pt}Hello world
\end{document}

but the result includes left margin and I do not know from where it's coming:

I even tried to remove space between left margin and start of document with hspace command.

Any idea what is wrong ?
thx

Nothing goes wrong.

The showframe option of the already used geometry package can show you that the margins have been set as specified.

The first line of a paragraph is always indented in a standard class. You can change this setting on a paragraph preceded by the \noindent command or use the parskip package.

The \hspace command with this argument allows hyphenation in the first word of the paragraph but doesn't affect its indentation.
