line-spacing
I am writing my CV. I wrote:
{\bf MEMBERSHIP}\\
\rule{\textwidth}{1pt}
\begin{itemize}
\item item1
\item item2
\end{itemize}
I want to decrease the vertical distance between "MEMBERSHIP" and the line. I mean, I want whole part after MEMBERSHIP(the line and the items) be shifted up TOGETHER.
Thank you
You can use
\setlist{before=\singlespacing,after=\doublespacing}
Code:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{setspace}
\setlist{before=\singlespacing,after=\doublespacing}
\doublespacing
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1]
\begin{enumerate}
\item \lipsum[1]
\item \lipsum[1]
\end{enumerate}
\lipsum[1]
\begin{itemize}
\item \lipsum[1]
\item \lipsum[1]
\end{itemize}
\lipsum[1]
\begin{description}
\item[Some] \lipsum[1]
\item[Other] \lipsum[1]
\end{description}
\end{document}
If you want to use \linespread instead of `setspace macros, do this
\setlist{before=\linespread{1}\selectfont,after=\linespread{1.6}\selectfont}
Use \linewidth for the width of the current environment (in this case, the current column). Use \textwidth for the width of the whole text block on the page.

\bfshouldn't really be used in latexprobably
does what you want although really such space and font commands should always be hidden in a sectioning macro so the document looks like
