itemize
My question refers to previous question already asked on forum.
No spacing between enumerated items with \usepackage{enumerate}
I need reduce space between enumerated items. How can i do it?
\begin{enumerate}[-]
\item ABC
\item DEF
\item XYZ
\end{enumerate}

The paralist package provides compressed lists, the new environments are called compactitem, compactenum and compactdesc. Use it just like the corresponding standard list environments. It can even keep lists within a paragraph.
The enumitem provides more features but also compressed lists, for instance by
\usepackage{enumitem}
\setlist{nolistsep,leftmargin=*}
\setlist modifies all lists, \setitemize just itemize etc. It takes an optional parameter that stands for the level that should be changed, default it alters all levels. Since enumitem allows a lot more customization I prefer it over paralist, but the latter is easier to use and fits better to the question here.
Simply setting \topsep as is usual does not work in the beamer case. Instead you can redefine \@listii as follows:
\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\makeatletter
\def\@listii{\leftmargin\leftmarginii
\topsep 2ex
\parsep 0\p@ \@plus\p@
\itemsep \parsep}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\begin{itemize}
\item Here are two interesting things:
\begin{enumerate} \itemsep2ex
\item This is number one.
\item And this is number two.
\end{enumerate}
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
See the file beamerbaselocalstructure.sty where you will find the formatting variables \@listi, \@listii and \@listiii for formatting of lists at depths one, two and three, respectively.
You can define macro that will set \topsep, \itemsep to the same value (#2) for lists of a given level as in the example below. This is particularly useful you want to scope the change of definition for just a single frame.
\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\makeatletter
\newcommand{\setlistspacing}[2]{\def\@ld{#1}\expandafter\def\csname
@list\romannumeral\@ld \endcsname{\leftmargin\csname
leftmargin\romannumeral\@ld \endcsname
\topsep #2
\parsep 0\p@ \@plus\p@
\itemsep #2}}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
{\setlistspacing{2}{2ex}
\begin{frame}
\begin{itemize}
\item Here are two interesting things:
\begin{enumerate}
\item This is number one.
\item And this is number two.
\end{enumerate}
\item Here are no interesting things.
\item Here are two interesting things:
\begin{enumerate}
\item This is number one.
\item And this is number two.
\end{enumerate}
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
}
{\setlistspacing{1}{4ex}
\begin{frame}
\begin{itemize}
\item Here are two interesting things:
\begin{enumerate}
\item This is number one.
\item And this is number two.
\end{enumerate}
\item Here are no interesting things.
\item Here are two interesting things.
\begin{enumerate}
\item This is number one.
\item And this is number two.
\end{enumerate}
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
}
\begin{frame}
\begin{itemize}
\item Here are two interesting things:
\begin{enumerate}
\item This is number one.
\item And this is number two.
\end{enumerate}
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\end{document
}

The answer, as in the other thread, is to use
enumiteminstead ofenumeratepackage.If you load it with the
shortlabelsoptionyou can keep the same syntax of
enumerate.Then you can issue, for example
if you want to eliminate the spacing between items or
if you want to reduce it to
1pt.MWE:
Output:
If you want the change to be locally, instead of declaring
you can insert
noitemsepin theenumerateoptions, as in
