\subsubsection{Spacing} For spacing in math mode, prefer using the methods described \hlhref{https://www.overleaf.com/learn/latex/Spacing_in_math_mode}{here}, for vertical spacing prefer the commands described below \begin{itemize} \item \verb|\smallhspace| Prints a 2mm hspace \item \verb|\mediumhspace| Prints a 5mm hspace \item \verb|\largehspace| Prints a 10mm = 1cm hspace \item \verb|\rmvspace|[\textit{number}] Removes an amount of vertical space. Should not be used unless can be avoided with general settings. Defaults to 0.5 \end{itemize} Vertical spacing config for the entire document. By default, the \LaTeX\ defaults are used. \begin{itemize} \item \verb|\noverticalspacing| \item \verb|\smallverticalspacing| \item \verb|\mediumverticalspacing| (approximately the same as the \LaTeX defaults) \item \verb|\largeverticalspacing| \end{itemize} You are of course free to redefine commands like \verb|\parskip|, etc to your liking, these commands are just provided for your convenience. See \hlhref{https://www.overleaf.com/learn/latex/\%5Cabovedisplayskip_and_related_commands}{here}\ for more details and \hlhref{https://latex-tutorial.com/latex-space/}{here for a good guide on spacing}. To control paragraph spacing, see \hlhref{https://mirror.ox.ac.uk/sites/ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/parskip/parskip.pdf}{here}\ and \hlhref{https://www.overleaf.com/learn/latex/Articles/How_to_change_paragraph_spacing_in_LaTeX}{here}. Do make sure to put the \texttt{usepackage} \textit{before} loading the helpers. Alternatively, you can use \verb|\PassOptionsToPackage{options}{package}| To make use of \TeX's automatic wrapping of short alignment environments, use the \texttt{aligned} (or, if no alignment is needed, use the normal \verb|\[ \]|) instead of the \texttt{align} environment for short equations. \newpage Below a demonstration on the effects of the different settings: \shade{Aquamarine}{No vertical spacing}\noverticalspacing This is text: \[ \int_{0}^{10} 4x^2 + 3x \cdot \frac{3 \ln(10)}{x^3} \dx x \] This is very long introductory text that exceeds the limit (same applies to long equations) \[ \int_{0}^{10} 4x^2 + 3x \cdot \frac{3 \ln(10)}{x^3} \dx x \] Text following the equation (no paragraph break!) \shade{Aquamarine}{Small vertical spacing}\smallverticalspacing This is text: \[ \int_{0}^{10} 4x^2 + 3x \cdot \frac{3 \ln(10)}{x^3} \dx x \] This is very long introductory text that exceeds the limit (same applies to long equations) \[ \int_{0}^{10} 4x^2 + 3x \cdot \frac{3 \ln(10)}{x^3} \dx x \] Text following the equation (no paragraph break!) \shade{Aquamarine}{Medium vertical spacing}\mediumverticalspacing This is text: \[ \int_{0}^{10} 4x^2 + 3x \cdot \frac{3 \ln(10)}{x^3} \dx x \] This is very long introductory text that exceeds the limit (same applies to long equations) \[ \int_{0}^{10} 4x^2 + 3x \cdot \frac{3 \ln(10)}{x^3} \dx x \] Text following the equation (no paragraph break!) \shade{Aquamarine}{Large vertical spacing}\largeverticalspacing This is text: \[ \int_{0}^{10} 4x^2 + 3x \cdot \frac{3 \ln(10)}{x^3} \dx x \] This is very long introductory text that exceeds the limit (same applies to long equations) \[ \int_{0}^{10} 4x^2 + 3x \cdot \frac{3 \ln(10)}{x^3} \dx x \] Text following the equation (no paragraph break!)
