Resume Spacing Between Lines

Post by jppatel4 »

Hello,

I am having trouble fixing the spacing when multiple lines are used in one bullet. I have pasted a picture of the error and the spacing code below.

---------------------------------Spacing Code---------------------------------------------------
\def\namesize{\Large} % Size of the name at the top of the document
\def\addressskip{\small} % The space between the two address (or phone/email) lines
\def\sectionlineskip{\smallskip} % The space above the horizontal line for each section
\def\nameskip{\small} % The space after your name at the top
\def\sectionskip{\footnotesize % The space after the heading section
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I cannot reproduce the problem with the information if I construct a working example from the information of your question post:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}

\def\namesize{\Large} % Size of the name at the top of the document
\def\addressskip{\small} % The space between the two address (or phone/email) lines
\def\sectionlineskip{\smallskip} % The space above the horizontal line for each section
\def\nameskip{\small} % The space after your name at the top
\def\sectionskip{\footnotesize} % The space after the heading section
%                             ^ missing brace added
  
\begin{document}
\begin{itemize}
\item Worked with medical oncologists to assess adherence to oncology tratment
  guidelines by reviewing collected quality data for most common tumor types
  in breast cancer
\item Created a presentation outlining the current issues in adherence to
  oncology treatment guidelines and solutions addressing the issues
\end{itemize}
\end{document}
So please show us a Infominimal working example, that can be used to reproduce the problem.

Speculation: Note that TeX always uses the paragraph and line spacing settings from the end of the paragraph for the whole paragraph. So something like {\larger several lines of text} is generally wrong and should be {\large several lines of text\par}.
Sorry, but I can no longer participate here as the administrator is trampling on my wishes on one of his other platforms. :cry:
