I wrote a large document full of equations that I vertically separated using commands like \\[12pt], \\[18pt] (see the example below). The document was written with a 12pts font size.
Then, I decided that 12pts font was too big and reduced it to 11pts. The spacements between equations need to be ...

Why is this simple macro gives an halting problem?
Hmm, I searched for \dp and found nothing on the net about this command.
I replaced it with
Thanks Stefan.
I replaced it with
\ssp
and \tsp
(for small space, and tiny space), so no harm!Thanks Stefan.

Why is this simple macro gives an halting problem?
I just defined this simple macro:
\newcommand*{\dp}{\hspace{0.5pt}}
Then, using \dp in mathmode gives an halting error:
Missing number, treated as zero.
and
Illegal unit of measure (pt inserted).
So what is wrong with calling my macro "dp" ? Three letters keyword works: "dpt", but why two ...

Customizing the ToC with toclof
I think I got it, but I need a confirmation that's a proper way of doing this:
\RequirePackage[l2tabu, orthodox]{nag}
\documentclass[11pt,letterpaper,twoside]{book}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[french]{babel}
\usepackage{lmodern}

Customizing the ToC with toclof
I'm having lots of troubles customizing my very large ToC, using the toclof package. Here's a MWE example that shows what I'm trying to achieve. Currently, the spacings are done by eyes only, and I don't understand well the commands used in that code, even after trial and mistakes:
\RequirePackage ...

Spacing troubles in ToC
The tocstyle package is very cryptic. It is not clear how to customize a few things like the presentation of the chapter number, and the subsubsection alignment.
I'm beginning to be frustrated with this thing. LaTeX is so hard to customise for a few simple things!

Typical font size used for a large physics book
This is what I'm testing. I want to reduce that insane number of pages!
Using 11pts doesn't reduce it much. But then I have used a lot of contraints in the document, and I'll need to clean all this.

Thanks Stefan. Using your suggestion appears to fix the issue:

Typical font size used for a large physics book
I was thinking about 10pts too. 10pts is standard for most LaTeX classes? I thought it was too small.
I agree that 12pts is a bit too big. My 2000 pages document was written in 12pts, and I want to change that.
