Hi,
I am working on slides using Touying and overall it works great! However, I am not able to control the spacing between sub-items in a list. As seen in the image below, the spacing between “Linked Lists” and and “Classes” is tighter than between “Classes” and “Methods”, and I would like it to be like in the first space (which is 1.2em).
I have set the list spacing in the document as follows:
#set list(
spacing: 1.2em,
)
And then only used normal lists in the code. The code below is for the list in the image:
- Linked lists
- Classes
- Methods
- Different variants
- Testing
- Unit test
- Setting up
- Examples
I have looked at similar topics here at the forum, like this and this as well as this where the last one seems to be the same thing that I wonder, but is not answered (yet).
I have looked at the documentation for spacing for lists (and enum), but I have not seen or read anything that helps me understand how to change the sub-item spacing.
Anyone with an idea of what I should do or look at?
I am wondering if this is unintended behavior. Even a show
rule on list.item
has the same behavior:
#show list.item: it => {
it
v(0.2em)
}
- Linked lists
- Classes
- Methods
- Different variants
- Testing
- Unit test
- Setting up
- Examples
However, if you use the same show
rule to set the color of the text, all item
s are affected. I think it might have to do with the structure of nested lists:
#repr[
- item1
- subitem 1
- subitem 2
]
// the above returns:
// sequence(
// [ ],
// item(
// body: sequence(
// [item1],
// [ ],
// item(body: [subitem 1]),
// [ ],
// item(body: [subitem 2]),
// ),
// ),
// [ ],
// )
// maybe spacing is only applied after `item` object?
also:
// surprising behavior here:
#show list.item: it => {
show [ ].func(): [SPACE IN LIST HERE]
it
}
Might be worth submitting a bug report if you haven’t already. If you don’t, I’ll be happy to do it.
A hacky solution in the meantime would be something like this:
#set list(
spacing: 2em
)
- Linked lists #v(0.6em)
- Classes
- Methods
- Different variants
- Testing #v(0.6em)
- Unit test
- Setting up
- Examples
Thanks a lot, Miles-1!
Good troubleshooting and I agree that it looks a little like unintended behaviour. I will file a bug report and be sure to include your name in it as well.
Also thanks for the hacky solution, I will see if I will use it or if a fix will be coming :-)
