How to disable automatic indentation in latex?

I want to create a pdf in which there are short texts followed by images.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}
    \section*{some title}
    A text... \\
    More text... \\
    \includegraphics{example.png}
    \newpage
    A text... \\
    More text... \\
    \includegraphics{example.png}
    \newpage
    A text... \\
    More text... \\
    \includegraphics{example.png}
    \newpage
    \section*{some title}
    A text... \\
    More text... \\
    \includegraphics{example.png}
\end{document}

My problem is that LaTex automatically indents "A text". "More text" is not indented. If "A text" comes after \section*{} it is also not indented.

Solution

  • You can control the width of the indentation by changing \parindent

    \documentclass{article}

\usepackage{graphicx}

\setlength{\parindent}{0pt}

\begin{document}
    \section*{some title}
    A text... 
    
    More text...
    
    \includegraphics{example-image-duck}
    \newpage
    A text... 
    
    More text... 
    
    \includegraphics{example-image-duck}
    \newpage
    A text... 
    
    More text... 
    
    \includegraphics{example-image-duck}
    \newpage
    \section*{some title}
    A text... 
    
    More text... 
    
    \includegraphics{example-image-duck}
\end{document}

    (you shouldn't abuse \\ for line breaks, leave an empty line instead)
