Problem with vertical spacing

Post by devoured_elysium »

Hello

I have a big problem with a latex document I've been doing. As you can see in the picture, instead of having the text separated by small vertical spaces, as the page is not full, it is trying to add spacing to the various paragraphs, instead of letting it have all the white space at the bottom of the page, as I'd like it to do. What is the work around? I'm using REVTEX, if it matters.

Thanks!

Hi devoured_elysium,

use \raggedbottom. Perhaps your document is using \flushbottom, that tries to fill the page by adding extra vertical space. \flushbottom is set by default by the book class.

Could you post a minimal working example that shows the unwanted behaviour? Just some compilable code that fills out the page that way. Until now we don't know your document class and also not the used packages and options.
So \raggedbottom was just a speculation that may help in some cases.

Those \bigskip commands are causing your problem. Just delete them.
