How can I keep the indent in a list?

When I use displayed equations in a list, the text following the equation will not be indented. For example:

- #lorem(10)
$ x $
#lorem(10)
- #lorem(10)

It looks like:

How can I indent the line following the equation?

By writing $ x $ not indented by two spaces (i.e. the same amount as the - ... starting the list) you’re exiting the list and start a new one. You can easily see that by replacing - by + and looking at the numbers.

So the fix is to indent the two lines:

- #lorem(10)
  $ x $
  #lorem(10)
- #lorem(10)

The problem is that the math will now be centered relative to the width of the list item, not of the page, but that can be fixed with a block with width: 100% – see also here:

- #lorem(10)
  #block(width: 100%, $ x $)
  #lorem(10)
- #lorem(10)

Sorry, I misunderstood your question.

Thanks! The block is also very useful.
