How can I shrink the bullets of itemize
without change its positioning and the centering versus the items? My code below show that behaviour in fact the two item underneath have a bullet shifted down respect the other two above…
\documentclass{book}
\begin{document}
\begin{itemize}
\item One
\item Two
\end{itemize}
\renewcommand\labelitemi{\tiny$\bullet$}
\begin{itemize}
\item One
\item Two
\end{itemize}
\end{document}
Best Answer
You can raise the bullet to your liking. The following does that (to the extreme):
On the left is the default
$\bullet$
. The middle shows\tiny$bullet$
while the last shows a raised\tiny$\bullet$
to exactly the same vertical height as it should be for$\bullet$
. However, as mentioned, this is a bit extreme. You could avoid all the length calculations and just use\raisebox{0.25ex}{\tiny$\bullet$}
which yields a comparable positioning.I would also suggest using
enumitem
which allows you to obtain a similar output using
