Hi all,
Sometimes, the default line spacing in
enumerate or
itemize is too large.
This is how you can reduce it:
- Create your own command and use it instead of {itemize} or {enumerate}
\documentclass[letterpaper,11pt]{report}
\newenvironment{packed_enum}{
\begin{enumerate}
\setlength{\itemsep}{1pt}
\setlength{\parskip}{0pt}
\setlength{\parsep}{0pt}
}{\end{enumerate}}
\newenvironment{packed_item}{
\begin{itemize}
\setlength{\itemsep}{1pt}
\setlength{\parskip}{0pt}
\setlength{\parsep}{0pt}
}{\end{itemize}}
\newenvironment{compactlist}{
\begin{list}{{$\bullet$}}{
\setlength{\partopsep}{5pt}
\setlength{\parskip}{0pt}
\setlength{\parsep}{0pt}
\setlength{\topsep}{0pt}
\setlength{\itemsep}{0pt}
\setlength{\itemindent}{0pt}
\setlength{\leftmargin}{10pt}
}
}{
\end{list}
}
\begin{document}
\chapter{My List}
Here is my list.
\begin{packed_enum}
\item Item 1
\item Item 2
\item Item 3
\end{packed_enum}
\begin{packed_item}
\item Item 1
\item Item 2
\item Item 3
\end{packed_item}
\begin{compactlist}
\item Item 1
\item Item 2
\item Item 3
\end{compactlist}
\end{document}
--------------------------
By changing the size of {pt} in
\setlength{\itemindent}{0pt}
\setlength{\leftmargin}{10pt}
you can change the indent of the bullets.
