estou a usarmla13e xelatex para criar um documento formatado em mla. Meu professor pediu que nossos artigos fossem alinhados à esquerda, então estou usando \raggedright para fazer isso. Descobri que isso faz com que os recuos dos parágrafos sejam removidos, mas como os parágrafos precisam ser recuados em um documento formatado em mla, também preciso redefinir isso com \setlength\parindent{0,5in}. O problema que estou enfrentando é que isso está causando a adição de uma nova linha ao documento.
Aqui está um exemplo:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{mla13}
\title{Sample Sources MLA13 Document}
\firstname{John}
\lastname{Smith}
\professor{Dr. Professor}
\class{FunClass}
\raggedright
\begin{document}
\makeheader
\setlength\parindent{0.5in}
In a recent report by the United Nations, they found that more than 884 million people do not have
access to safe drinking water \cite[e.g.][15-23]{unWater}. This number equates to more than 1 out
of every 8 people, not having access to something that is so vital to human life. Knowing this
fact, most must ask themselves, why the same water that we drink is used to clean our toilets and
wash our lawns. The water that hundreds of millions of people would love to have, is something that
we just flush down the toilet. This paper intends to examine the benefits of grey water systems,
and how their use leads to increased water conservation efforts, creating more benefits then costs.
Grey water systems are a technique that aids in water conservation efforts by reusing water that
doesn't need to be fully cleaned. For example, many grey water systems use the water that comes
from the shower drain to water the lawn or fill the toilet. Even though this water isn't going to a
water treatment plant, doesn't mean that it is not clean. Grey water systems are equipped with a
filter that removes most soaps and solid objects that make their way through the drainage system
\cite{planetArk}. With a private market for greywater systems developing, there are a variety of
commercial systems that filter water to ``remove hair, lint, and debris, and remove pollutants,
bacteria, salts'' and many more materials \cite{pacificInst2010}

Aqui está aquele documento renderizado ...
Abaixo está o documento sem a linha \setlength\parindent{0.5in}line. Observe como a nova linha após o título desapareceu. Alguma ideia do que esta causando isso?Para ser claro, o que estou tentando realizar é o recuo do parágrafo sem a nova linha extra.Obrigado!

A solução mais simples é adicionar um %após o \setlengthcomando. A razão para isso é que a linha em branco após o comando de recuo é tratada como um novo parágrafo, mas ignorada após o \makeheadercomando. O final %remove efetivamente a linha em branco. Veja esta pergunta para detalhes.

Meus olhos sangram depois de ver essa composição tipográfica vergonhosa.
Por que uma linha em branco foi adicionada? Bem, o \makeheadercomando termina com \end{nospacecenter}, que é definido por
\newenvironment{nospacecenter}
{\parskip=0pt\par\nopagebreak\centering}
{\par\noindent\ignorespacesafterend}
então o TeX está escrevendo um novo parágrafo quando \makeheaderterminar seu trabalho.
É claro que remover \noindent\ignorespacesafterendseria uma definição correta:
\newenvironment{nospacecenter}
{\parskip=0pt\par\nopagebreak\centering}
{\par}
Uma definição melhor seria
\newenvironment{nospacecenter}
{\parskip=0pt\topsep=0pt \trivlist\listparindnt=0pt \item\relax\centering}
{\endtrivlist}
Dessa forma, uma linha em branco depois \end{nospacecenter}adicionaria recuo, nenhuma linha em branco não adicionaria.
Também \makeheaderdeve ser corrigido:
\newcommand*{\makeheader}{%
\begingroup
\parindent\z@
\rmfamily
\@firstname\ \@lastname\\
\@professor\\
\@class\\
\datef\@date
\begin{nospacecenter}
\@title
\end{nospacecenter}
\endgroup
}
Aqui está um exemplo completo, com as alterações (adicionei também um nospacecenterambiente para testá-lo):
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{mla13}
\title{Sample Sources MLA13 Document}
