couple latex questions: tabbing, vspace, horizontal lines

Hey guys,

I have a couple questions, feel free to tackle any/all of them :)

First off, I am using the "article" document type

########
# Problem 1
I have a special paragraph that I do not want indented, as in:

Code:

    Here is the indented style of

my paragraph.

This is what I want:

Code:

Here is the non-indented style

of my paragraph.

######

# Problem 2
I need to indent a list of things, heres what I want:

Code:

Examples:

    req:        ADDUSER bob

    resp:        OK

    req:        ADDUSER alice

    resp:        OK

Here is my code for the section:

Code:

\textbf{Examples:}\\

\emph{req:}  ADDUSER bob\\

\emph{resp:}  OK\\

\emph{req:}  ADDUSER alice\\

\emph{resp:}  OK\\

When I try something like this, nothing changes:

Code:

\hspace{2pt} \emph{req:} ADDUSER bob\\

###

########
# Problem 3
I want to add a horizontal line, 1pt thick, from the left margin to the right margin.
###

I'd greatly appreciate any help.

Thanks!

Here is an example that should solve these problems:

Code:

\documentclass[a4paper, 11pt, a4paper]{article}



\begin{document}

The Default: New Paragraph with indention.\\



\noindent Use "$\backslash$noindent" for paragraphs with no indention\\



\parindent 0pt

Or set "$\backslash$parindent 0pt" to set the default indention to 0pt...\\



...and every new paragraph will no longer be indented.

\\ 

\\

Indent a "list of things" using the obvious "$\backslash$indent" command:\\

Examples:\\

\parindent 20pt

\indent

\begin{tabular}{ll}

  req: & ADDUSER bob\\

  resp: & OK \\

  req: & ADDUSER alice\\

  resp: & OK\\

\end{tabular}

\\

\\

And last but not least your 1pt line:\\

\rule{\textwidth}{1pt}



\end{document}
