-<h3>How to adjust list spacing</h3>
-<p/><a href="FAQ-books.html">Lamport&#8217;s book</a> lists various
-parameters for the layout of list (things like <code>\</code><code>topsep</code>,
-<code>\</code><code>itemsep</code> and <code>\</code><code>parsep</code>), but fails to mention that they&#8217;re set
-automatically within the list itself. This happens because each list
-executes a command <code>\</code><code>@list</code><code>&lt;<i>depth</i>&gt;</code> (the depth
-appearing as a lower-case roman numeral); what&#8217;s more, the top-level
-<code>\</code><code>@listi</code> is usually reset when the font size is changed. As a
-result, it&#8217;s rather tricky for
-the user to control list spacing. Of course, the real answer is to use
-a document class designed with more modest list spacing, but we all
-know such things are hard to come by. The <i>memoir</i> class wasn&#8217;t
-designed for more compact lists <em>per se</em>, but offers the user
-control over the list spacing.
-<p/>There are packages that provide some control of list spacing, but they
-seldom address the separation from surrounding text (defined by
-<code>\</code><code>topsep</code>). The <i>expdlist</i> package, among its many controls
-of the appearance of <code>description</code> lists, offers a
-compaction parameter (see the documentation); the <i>mdwlist</i>
-package offers a <code>\</code><code>makecompactlist</code> command for users&#8217; own list
-definitions, and uses it to define compact lists
-<code>itemize*</code>, <code>enumerate*</code> and
-<code>description*</code>. In fact, you can write lists such as
-these commands define pretty straightforwardly &#8212; for example:
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-\newenvironment{itemize*}%
- {\begin{itemize}%
- \setlength{\itemsep}{0pt}%
- \setlength{\parskip}{0pt}}%
- {\end{itemize}}
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-The <i>paralist</i> package provides several approaches to list
-compaction:
-<ul>
-<li> its <code>asparaenum</code> environment formats each item as if
- it were a paragraph introduced by the enumeration label (which saves
- space if the item texts are long);
-<li> its <code>compactenum</code> environment is the same sort of
- compact list as is provided in <i>expdlist</i> and
- <i>mdwlist</i>; and
-<li> its <code>inparaenum</code> environment produces a list &#8220;in
- the paragraph&#8221;, i.e., with no line break between items, which is a
- great space-saver if the list item texts are short.
-</ul>
-The package will manipulate its <code>enumerate</code> environment
-labels just like the <a href="FAQ-enumerate.html"><i>enumerate</i> package</a>
-does.
-<p/><i>Paralist</i> also provides <code>itemize</code> equivalents
-(<code>asparaitem</code>, etc.), and <code>description</code>
-equivalents (<code>asparadesc</code>, etc.).
-<p/>The <i>multenum</i> package offers a more regular form of
-<i>paralist</i>&#8217;s <code>inparaenum</code>; you define a notional
-grid on which list entries are to appear, and list items will always
-appear at positions on that grid. The effect is somewhat like that of
-the &#8216;tab&#8217; keys on traditional typewriters; the package was designed
-for example sheets, or lists of answers in the appendices of a book.
-<p/>The ultimate in compaction (of every sort) is offered by the
-<i>savetrees</i> package; compaction of lists is included. The
-package&#8217;s prime purpose is to save space at every touch and turn:
-don&#8217;t use it if you&#8217;re under any design constraint whatever!
-<p/>The <i>expdlist</i>, <i>mdwlist</i> and <i>paralist</i>
-packages all offer other facilities for list configuration: you should
-probably not try the &#8220;do-it-yourself&#8221; approaches outlined below if
-you need one of the packages for some other list configuration
-purpose.
-<p/>For ultimate flexibility (including manipulation of <code>\</code><code>topsep</code>), the
-<i>enumitem</i> package permits adjustment of list parameters using
-a &#8220;<em>key</em>=&lt;<i>value</i>&gt;&#8221; format.
-For example, one might write
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-\usepackage{enumitem}
-...
-\begin{enumerate}[topsep=0pt, partopsep=0pt]
-\item ...
-\item ...
-\end{enumerate}
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-to suppress all spacing above and below your list, or
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-\usepackage{enumitem}
-...
-\begin{enumerate}[itemsep=2pt,parsep=2pt]
-\item ...
-\item ...
-\end{enumerate}
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-to set spacing between items and between paragraphs within items.
-<i>Enumitem</i> also permits manipulation of the label format in a
-more &#8220;basic&#8221; (and therefore more flexible) manner than the
-<a href="FAQ-enumerate.html"><i>enumerate</i> package</a> does.
