Hi Karl

Thanks. Everything is fine with your answer. I contact GUTenberg. Claude.

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[dutch,english]{babel} %% problem with french
\begin {document}

\begin{itemize}
\item
Text 1
\end{itemize}

%% Latex2e, An unofficial reference manual (May 2024) 8.14, p. 64
%% Karl says : Setting the margin after the list starts has no effect (I 
believe). OK
\begin{itemize}
\setlength{\leftmargini}{1.25em}
\item
Text 2
\end{itemize}

\setlength{\leftmargini}{1.25em}
\begin{itemize}
\item
Text 3
\end{itemize}
\end {document}
