Theses, Books, Title pages ⇒ Probable change for the behavior of vertical space

[templateuser]

The vertical spaces that divide environments such as itemize, enumerate, or description with the rest of the text, are equal to the vertical space that exists between the title of a new section and the previous line. To me, this doesn't seem very logic since vertical space between new sections and previous lines should be larger than internal environments within a section. Is there anyway to change this behavior? Do you think that the change should be made permanently to the template?

Hi,

This is a matter of preference and there is no one correct way to set up spacing in a document. I believe this template is using the default LaTeX spacings and spacing are easily adjusted from there.

To reduce space between sections/subsections and paragraphs of text use:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[compact]{titlesec}  
\titlespacing{\section}{0pt}{0pt}{0pt}

To reduce spacing within and around lists use:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{enumitem}
\setlist[itemize]{noitemsep, topsep=0pt}

Cheers,
Vel

I believe that your solution also modifies the spacing between the list items. I only want to reduce the spacing around list environments.

I just realized that I just have to change \setlist[itemize]{noitemsep, topsep=0pt} to \setlist[itemize]{topsep=0pt}. Perhaps you should edit your answer so that it explicitly answers the question. Thanks a lot by the way.
