Geometry and quote... env. spaces

Post by meho_r »

I noticed recently that when I use geometry package it makes spaces between paragraph and \quote, \quotation environments, as well as between items in \itemize and \enumerate evironments variable, so, when there is left some space on page it enlarges spaces in these environments (or between paragraph and these environments), and when not, it reduces them. It can have very unpleasent look when two adjacent pages have some of these environments and spaces on one are so much larger then on another. Any tip how to overcome this? (except: "Don't use geometry package then" ;) )

The difference is obvious on pages 2 and 3 in the example.tex (Attached below)

Pernaps the compctitem, compactenum, etc. environments provided by the paralist package could be useful. Another option to customise your enumeration-like environments could be the enumitem package .

Yes, enumitem does solve space problem between \items. But still remains space between previous paragraph (and next as well) and the \itemize environment. As for paralist package, I'm going to test it as well.

After going through many docs and my old notes, I noticed some kind of solution: \raggedbottom. However, it doesn't completely resolve the issue, but at least makes spaces smaller and gaps less obvious.

If anyone have more ideas, please, they're very welcome.

Thank you, gmedina, for quick reply :)
