Vertically condensing Itemize
Hi everyone,
A few weeks ago I made this suggestion for vertically condensing the Itemize
environment:
% %%% Vertically denser Itemize style %%%
\renewenvironment{itemize}{%
\ifnum\@itemdepth3 \@toodeep
\else \advance\@itemdepth\@ne
\edef\@itemitem{labelitem\romannumeral\the\@itemdepth}%
\list{\csname\@itemitem\endcsname}%
{\def\makelabel##1{\hss\llap{\upshape##1}}}%
\fi
\setlength{\parsep}{-4pt}
\setlength{\parskip}{-4pt}
}{%
\endlist
}
The preceding has one problem. If an item wraps, the space between its
wrapped lines is bigger than the space between items themselves. This doesn't
convey the list as distinct items.
So I used the \setstretch{} command to condense wrapped lines of the same
item, and then set \parsep and \parskip from -4 to -1 to compensate for the
reduced interitem spacing resulting from the \setstretch{}. The result is a
very nice list whose multiline items appear as a unit, distinct from other
items.
The following is the code:
% %%% Vertically denser Itemize style %%%
\renewenvironment{itemize}{%
\ifnum\@itemdepth3 \@toodeep
\else \advance\@itemdepth\@ne
\edef\@itemitem{labelitem\romannumeral\the\@itemdepth}%
\list{\csname\@itemitem\endcsname}%
{\def\makelabel##1{\hss\llap{\upshape##1}}}%
\fi
\setlength{\parsep}{-1pt}
\setlength{\parskip}{-1pt}
\setstretch{0.8}
}{%
\endlist
}
Please remember that in order to use \setstretch, you must have
\usepackage{setspace} preceding it (probably near the top of your preamble).

Some exact instructions for vertically condensing itemize
Hi everyone,
Your mileage may vary, but here's how I vertically condensed my Itemize
environment:
\renewenvironment{itemize}{%
\ifnum\@itemdepth3 \@toodeep
\else \advance\@itemdepth\@ne
\edef\@itemitem{labelitem\romannumeral\the\@itemdepth}%
\list{\csname\@itemitem\endcsname}%
{\def\makelabel##1{\hss\llap{\upshape##1}}}%
\fi
\setlength{\parsep}{-4pt}
\setlength{\parskip}{-4pt}
}{%
\endlist
}
I simply put the preceding code between a Preamble and EndPreamble statement
in my layout file. There was no need to change the LyX representation,
because the original LyX representation is faithful enough.
You'll notice what I really did was cannibalize the
\renewenvironment{itemize} from amsbook.cls, and then add two setlengths. I
have no idea why this works, but it seems to work quite nicely and gives a
very nice spacing, while retaining bullets and nesting.
If you use this and want to widen the spacing, simply reduce the absolute
value of the negative numbers in the \setlength commands. If you want to
further narrow the spacing, increase their absolute values.
Next, I'll do a similar steal and enhance for the Enumerate environment.
Hopefully this will knock off 10 or 20 pages from my book, allowing a better
size for mail order.
When the Enumerate is done I'll post it.
If I've made any horrid mistakes or miscalculations in doing this, please
feel free to let me know.
Thanks
Steve

You might like to take a look at foils.cls and its definition of
\zerolistvertdimens
which sets a few lengths for compacted list-based environments. You
simply place the command as ERT at the start of the first item of
list, enumerate, itemize, description etc. environments.
You might like to take a look at The LaTeX Companion for a very good
description of all the different lengths.
You could also make use of it in your above strategy.
