Page Layout ⇒ Too much Space around Equations

[fib]

Hi,

is there a way to diminish the spacing around equation environments?

I use the command \linespread{1.6} and there is the side effect of having extra space around central equations.

Hi fib,

you could modify the lengths \abovedisplayskip, \belowdisplayskip, \abovedisplayshortskip, \belowdisplayshortskip, here you can read how to do this and, especially in the third post, a good way to do it globally:

• Vertical spacing of math environment
• Less Space between equations and text
• Can't set vertical whitespace in the preamble

Thank you Stefan_K, your reply was very useful.

I still have a problem with central equation in \newtheorem environment. The previous commands do not affect the spacing in \newtheorem.

Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance.

Use the setspace package instead of the \linespread command. See l2tabu.
