Leftbar without indentation

Question

I'd like to use the leftbar command from the framed package to put a line next to some parts of text. The only problem I have with the command is that it indents the text in question, as illustrated below.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{framed,lipsum}
\usepackage{showframe}

\begin{document}
\lipsum[10]
\begin{leftbar}
\lipsum[10]
\end{leftbar}
\end{document}

Is there a way to modify the command so that the text is still outlined as normal, and the bar instead appears somewhat to the left of the body of text?

Answer 1

You can do it like this:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{framed}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{showframe}
\renewenvironment{leftbar}{%
  \def\FrameCommand{\hspace{-13pt}\vrule width 3pt \hspace{10pt}}%
  \MakeFramed {\advance\hsize-\width \FrameRestore}}%
 {\endMakeFramed}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[10]
\begin{leftbar}
\lipsum[10]
\end{leftbar}
\end{document}
