General ⇒ Spacing in List of Algorithms

[FrankZA]

I am using the algorithms package for my pseudocode. The only problem I encounter is in the List of Algorithms. The spaces between the items in the list do not correspond to the spacing in the List of Figures or the List of Tables. How can I make the List of Algorithms look the same?

I have attached an example.

Thanks in advance.

[FrankZA]

I managed to figure out how to fix this problem. To get the spacing right between algorithms in the same chapter, add the line

Code: Select all

\addtocontents{loa}{\vskip 6pt}

after your caption.

If the algorithm is the last one in the chapter, add an ADDITIONAL

Code: Select all

\addtocontents{loa}{\vskip 9pt}

after the previous command.

That seems to result in the correct spacings. If those values are not quite right, please let me know.

I, too, would like to adjust the spacing of List of Algorithms. However, I want the spacing following the title of my list of algorithms page to be the same as my list of figures and list of tables. If someone could help me figure this out, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you
