TCPDF remove <ul> indenting

Question

For some reason TCPDF is adding space to the left when I use writeHTML() to print an unordered list. By default, the PDF has a margin of 5 (set with $pdf->SetMargins(5, 0, 10, true);) but list items get indented.

I set $pdf->setCellPaddings(0,0,0,0); already, which prevents with unwanted (minus-)space for <p> tags, but obviously doesn´t affect lists.

The call:

$pdf->writeHTML('<ul><li>...</li></li>...</li></ul>');

The result:

Is there any option I miss?

Answer 1

There is a method setListIndentWidth. For example:

$pdf->setListIndentWidth(4);

You can experiment with the value. And the documentation entry is here.

Answer 2

find $this->lMargin += $this->listindent; in tcpdf.php and replace with $this->lMargin += $this->listindent/2;

Answer 3

change:

$pdf->writeHTML('<ul><li>...</li></li>...</li></ul>');

to:

$pdf->writeHTML('<ul style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><li>...</li></li>...</li></ul>');

<ul> -Tag always adds space to the left (padding) and margin to top.

Already tried inline-styles… Doesn´t work. As far as I know, TCPDF doesn´t support margin and padding at all. – Blender

I use html2pdf in combination with TCPDF 5.0.002 and it works great. – Zelaya

I´m just using TCPDF (6.0.044). Maybe it´s because of the combination you use… or the older version, which seems to be different in some ways. – Blender

TCPDF doesn't support margin and padding attributes. The latest 6.2 only support padding in table. – Anybody
