-<h3>Reducing spacing in the bibliography</h3>
-<p/>Bibliographies are, in fact, implemented as lists, so all the
-confusion about <a href="FAQ-complist.html">reducing list item spacing</a> also
-applies to bibliographies.
-<p/>If the <i>natbib</i> package &#8216;works&#8217; for you (it may not if you are using
-some special-purpose bibliography style), the solution is relatively
-simple &#8212; add
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-\usepackage{natbib}
-\setlength{\bibsep}{0.0pt}
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-to the preamble of your document.
-<p/>The <i>compactbib</i> package has a similar effect. Its primary
-purpose is to produce two bibliographies, and it seems to preclude use
-of BibTeX (though the package documentation, in the package file
-itself, isn&#8217;t particularly clear).
-<p/>Otherwise, one is into unseemly hacking of something or other. The
-<i>mdwlist</i> package actually does the job, but it doesn&#8217;t work
-here, because it makes a different-named list, while the name
-&#8220;<code>thebibliography</code>&#8221; is built into LaTeX and
-BibTeX. Therefore, we need to
-<a href="FAQ-patch.html">patch the underlying macro</a>:
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-\let\oldbibliography\thebibliography
-\renewcommand{\thebibliography}[1]{%
- \oldbibliography{#1}%
- \setlength{\itemsep}{0pt}%
-}
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-The <i>savetrees</i> package performs such a patch, among a
-plethora of space-saving measures: you can, in principle, suppress all
-its other actions, and have it provide you a compressed bibliography
-<em>only</em>.
