I am using the ClassicThesis with the ArsClassica package, which I love very much, but I have a problem with the vertical spacing in the list of figures between figures of different chapters.   My understanding is that ClassicThesis does not include an automatic vertical space between these figures, which is what I get when I run the code. Therefore I tried to add the vertical space in the following ways (I tried these one at a time):  %\addtocontents{lof}{\protect\setlength{\cftbeforechapskip}{5pt}}  %\addtocontents{lof}{\protect\vspace{-\cftbeforechapskip}}   Neither is working, i.e. there is no vertical space added and the list of figures stays at it is (please see the picture of the current state). I have also checked other proposed solutions, but none has worked thus far.  If somebody can help me with finding the correct code, that would be great!  Thanks!    UPDATE: This solution solved the problem:

I checked extensively the forum and the net in order to solve this seemingly simple problem, without success. I know that there are a lot of posts regarding this problem, but I was unable to find the one that was fitting my purpose.  I would like to add an extra line inside the List of Figures and Tables when switching from one chapter to another, when using the scrbook class of ClassicThesis.  So for example it should be:   Figure 1.1 Figure 1.2 Figure 2.1 Figure 3.1   while what I obtain now is:   Figure 1.1 Figure 1.2 Figure 2.1 Figure 3.1   Here is the MWE that reproduces my problem, with a possible solution that I took from , which unfortunately doesn't work in my case:  \documentclass{scrbook} \usepackage{classicthesis} \usepackage{classicthesis-ldpkg} \usepackage{subfig} \usepackage{graphicx} \begin{document}  \makeatletter \let\my@chapter\@chapter \renewcommand*{\@chapter}{%   \addtocontents{lof}{\protect\addvspace{10pt}}%   \my@chapter} \makeatother  \listoffigures  \clearpage  \chapter{1}  \begin{figure} \centering \includegraphics[scale=.9]{fig1} \caption{Figure 1 of the chapter 1} \end{figure}  \begin{figure} \centering \includegraphics[scale=.9]{fig2} \caption{Figure 2 of the chapter 1} \end{figure} 1 \chapter{2}  \begin{figure} \centering \includegraphics[scale=.9]{fig3} \caption{Figure 1 of the chapter 2} \end{figure}  \chapter{3}  \begin{figure} \centering \includegraphics[scale=.9]{fig4} \caption{Figure 1 of the chapter 3} \end{figure}  \end{document}   Thanks for your kind help.

I have a document using subequations and the parskip package. If the paragraph before a subequations environment is completely filled up to the last line, then additional vertical whitespace is introduced between this paragraph and the following subequations. I guess this is a bug, but I'm not sure, nor do I have enough TeX knowledge to try and fix it. How can I fix this whitespace issue?  Below is a MWE which shows the behaviour, at least on LaTeX2e &lt;2003/12/01> with pdfeTeX 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (unfortunately on this machine only an old tetex distribution is installed).  \documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{article}  \usepackage{parskip} \usepackage{amsmath}  \begin{document}  The subequations environment provides a convenient way to number a foos \begin{subequations}\label{foo}   \begin{align}     x^2 + y^2 &amp;= z^2\\     a &amp;= b + c   \end{align} \end{subequations}  \end{document}

When the fleqn option is used, the vertical spacing before an equation placed right after a "long" text line (exactly \linewidth I would say) is improperly set up. See below:    From the mathmode user guide, this could probably be fixed through the \topsep length. Is it the right way to proceed? The problem is reproduced by the code below:  \documentclass[12pt,fleqn]{book} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{hyperref} \begin{document} \chapter{plo} \section{plo} eoiu oieu oeiuoe ueoi ueoi ueoiu eoiu oeu oe iupaêio umùaeoiuaem oeiu eoiu eoiu oeee. eoiu oieu oeiuoe ueoi ueoi ueoiu eoiu oeu oe iupaêio umùaeoiuaemm \begin{equation} \cos\pi=-1 \end{equation} eoiu oieu oeiuoe ueoi ueoi ueoiu eoiu oeu oe iupaêio umùaeoiuaem oeiu eoiu eoiu oeee. eoiu oieu oeiuoe ueoi ueoi ueoiu eoiu oeu oe iupaêio umùae \begin{equation} \cos\pi=-1 \end{equation} \end{document}   There is something wrong involving hyperref, amsmath, and fleqn. Removing one of those removes the problem.

I want to decrease the vertical space between the top of the page and the chapter heading. I have tried to follow the instructions for titlesec but I am not successful. I have tried the following two setups without any changes occuring.  First:  \documentclass[12pt]{report}   \usepackage[compact]{titlesec}   \begin{document}   \chapter{Characters}  The origin of the group determinant begins with Richard Dedekind in the late 1800's. He began to explore the idea after studying the discriminant in a normal field [A]. He made several observations about the group determinant, but was only able to prove some of them.   \end{document}   Second:  \documentclass[12pt]{report}   \usepackage{titlesec}   \titleformat{\chapter}[display]   {\normalfont\huge\bfseries}{\chaptertitlename\ \thechapter}{20pt}{\Huge}   \titlespacing{\chapter}{0pt}{0pt}{0pt}   \begin{document}   \chapter{Characters}    The origin of the group determinant begins with Richard Dedekind in the late 1800's.

I have a document, where I want to use $\tau_{ff}$. If this is rendered it looks like a space is inserted between the two f's. $\tau_{rl}$ looks fine ...   Where does this additional space come from and how can I avoid it being inserted?  (Miktex 2.9 on windows, if this is relevant).

In LyX I enter a figure/graphic at the end of a paragraph using Insert > Float > Figure.  I assume this is the command that I want since I want to include a graphic with a description (please let me know if there's a better command for this).  However, when it shows up in the PDF, (i) the figure is inside the paragraph and (ii) the spacing between the bottom of the figure and the remainder of the paragraph is abnormally large. I've tried manually editing the vertical space, but LyX either puts no space or too much space for this particular figure (I've never had this issue before).  I have a MWE below. In this case the spacing issue no longer appears but the figure appears above the paragraph instead of below. How can I put the figure below the paragraph (or precisely where I want it to appear?

Sorry, because I think it's a many times asked topic. But I don't find an example which help me to understand how to create a white space between paragraphs.  I think parskip is the package I need to use but I don't know how to use it.  I have this sample of LaTeX trying to understand how to use parskip package. What am I doing wrong?  \documentclass{report}  \usepackage{parskip}  \begin{document} \setlength{\parskip}{0pt} % 1ex plus 0.5ex minus 0.2ex} \setlength{\parindent}{0pt}  \section{Section Headings}  We explain in this section how to obtain headings for the various sections and subsections of our document.  \subsection{Headings in the `article' Document Style}  In the ``article'' style, the document may be divided up into sections, subsections and subsubsections, and each can be given a title, printed in a boldface font, simply by issuing the appropriate command. \parskip Lorem ipsum `comillas simples' sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Fusce at augue nisi. Mauris vel metus velit. Nunc vitae augue justo, non euismod risus. Nullam et bibendum nisl. Vestibulum nec leo lectus. Phasellus non dui et ipsum malesuada venenatis vitae ut risus. Phasellus tincidunt erat sollicitudin leo auctor sed porta leo commodo. Nullam et adipiscing libero. Ut et mi ac dui facilisis faucibus. Fusce eget magna a quam volutpat accumsan. Duis dictum luctus ligula, at facilisis leo blandit sit amet. Phasellus congue ornare lectus scelerisque malesuada. Praesent et cursus nulla. Quisque aliquam felis ac nunc scelerisque a consectetur elit mattis. \\  \end{document}   Will this spacing work in the entire document?

I have:  \documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{report}   with no special customisation.  In one page, at the end of a section, I have a big figure with two paragraphs of text below it, and these two paragraphs are not enough to fill up the rest of the page.  When I use the \documentclass as above I get some extra white space at the end of the page, which is fine: the vertical spacing from the figure caption and between the two paragraphs is standard and correct.  But if I switch to:  \documentclass[a4paper,11pt,twoside]{report}   I get extra blank space between the figure caption and the 1st paragraph and also between the 1st and 2nd paragraph.  I want to use twoside to set the headings with fancyhdr. How can I get rid of these ugly white spaces?

I want to reduce the size of the vertical space in matrix environment and have a result something like this     But at present I manage something like below     with the following code    $\begin{bmatrix}     00 &amp; 08 &amp; 10 &amp; 18 &amp; 20 &amp; 28 &amp; 30 &amp; 38 \\     01 &amp; 09 &amp; 11 &amp; 19 &amp; 21 &amp; 29 &amp; 31 &amp; 39 \\     02 &amp; 0a &amp; 12 &amp; 1a &amp; 22 &amp; 2a &amp; 32 &amp; 3a \\     03 &amp; 0b &amp; 13 &amp; 1b &amp; 23 &amp; 2b &amp; 33 &amp; 3b \\     04 &amp; 0c &amp; 14 &amp; 1c &amp; 24 &amp; 2c &amp; 34 &amp; 3c \\     05 &amp; 0d &amp; 15 &amp; 1d &amp; 25 &amp; 2d &amp; 35 &amp; 3d \\     06 &amp; 0e &amp; 16 &amp; 1e &amp; 26 &amp; 2e &amp; 36 &amp; 3e \\     07 &amp; 0f &amp; 17 &amp; 1f &amp; 27 &amp; 2f &amp; 37 &amp; 3f   \end{bmatrix}$   I can change the font using \mathsf{}, but other than that, how I reduce the vertical space between the rows? I did find things like  to increase vertical space between rows in matrix, but not something that can decrease the space.

This is a follow-up question regarding the extra vertical space in amsmath's align environment. Why when in use align uses so much vertical space in contrast with other environments like for example tabular or itemize?  \documentclass[12pt]{article} \usepackage[top=0.3in, bottom=1.2in, left=0.8in, right=0.8in]{geometry}   \usepackage[fleqn]{amsmath} \usepackage{unicode-math}  \setlength{\mathindent}{0cm} \newcommand{\3}{\vspace{0.3cm}}  \title{} \author{} \date{}  \begin{document}  70  \begin{align*} &amp;e^{jz}=\cos z+j\sin z\\ &amp;\cos z=(1/2)(2\cos z)=\\ &amp;=(1/2)(2\cos z+j\sin z-j\sin z)=\\ &amp;=(1/2)(\cos z+j\sin z+\cos z-j\sin z)=\\ &amp;=(1/2)(e^{jz}+e^{-jz}) \end{align*}  80  \begin{itemize} \item Item 1  \item Item 2  \end{itemize}  90  \begin{tabular}{c|c}  Entry 1&amp; Entry 2  \\  Entry 3&amp; Entry 4 \end{tabular}  \end{document}     Also another image of the huge space between two align environments. Even without the blank lines the space is a lot.    \begin{document}  \begin{multicols*}{2}   \begin{align*} &amp;\text{70}\\ &amp;e^{jz}=\cos z+j\sin z\\ &amp;\cos z=(1/2)(2\cos z)=\\ &amp;=(1/2)(2\cos z+j\sin z-j\sin z)=\\ &amp;=(1/2)(\cos z+j\sin z+\cos z-j\sin z)=\\ &amp;=(1/2)(e^{jz}+e^{-jz}) \end{align*}    \begin{align*} &amp;\text{207}\\ &amp;x(t)=A_{c}\cos \theta(t)\\ &amp;\theta(t)=2\pi f_{c}t+\phi(t)\\ &amp;\phi(t)=K_{p}m(t)\\ &amp;x(t)=A_{c}\cos[2\pi f_{c}t+K_{p}m(t)] \end{align*}   Edit I:  As I mention in a comment I have tried the following code and there is no difference between two align environments, only between text and an align environment. Why doesn't work in the case of the two environments and how can I fix it so to work? Also what is the reason that this space exists?  \setlength{\abovedisplayskip}{0pt} \setlength{\belowdisplayskip}{0pt} \setlength{\abovedisplayshortskip}{0pt} \setlength{\belowdisplayshortskip}{0pt}

I am using the book documentclass and have a list of figures. After  I noticed that there is a blank line to separate figures that are in different chapters, but not if they are within the same chapter. Since I changed the numbering of my figures to be {1, 2, 3, etc.} instead of {2.1, 2.2, 3.1, etc.} this looks silly and I'd rather have a blank line between each figure, no matter what.  How do I do that?  Similar:

I want to place two (or more) figures with side by side. The figures are independent, so need separate captions, with no overall caption for the two. I know how to do this with minipages within a figure environment. But the captions don't line up without trail and error \vspace's before the individual captions. Is there a way to line up the captions automatically?
