Extra vertical space is produced after \cvitem
and before the next \section
. Is there a better way to fix this than to use \vspace*{-6mm}
? The problem is shown below, between the "Skills" and "Language" sections.
MWE:
\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,sans]{moderncv}
\moderncvstyle{classic} % banking, casual, classic, empty, oldstyle options
\moderncvcolor{blue} % black, blue, green, grey, orange, purple, red options
\usepackage[scale=0.85]{geometry} % default scale=0.7. height= scale * layoutheight
\firstname{John}
\familyname{Doe}
\title{R\'esum\'e} % optional
\begin{document}
\makecvtitle
\section{Professional Experience}
\cventry{Year--Year}{Intern}{Company}{Nowhere}{State}{
\begin{itemize}
\item Did something important here.
\end{itemize}}
% problem with vertical space-------------------------------------------------
\section{Education}
\cventry{06/11}{Bachelor of Arts \LaTeX}{University of \LaTeX}{}{\textit{4.0/4.0}}{}
%\vspace*{-6mm} %this will fix vertical spacing for \moderncvstyle{classic}, but create vertical spacing issues for other \moderncvstyle{xyz}.
% problem with vertical space -------------------------------------------------
\section{Skills}
\cvitem[-1.2em]{}{
\begin{itemize}
\item \LaTeX
\end{itemize}}
%\vspace*{-6mm} %this will fix vertical spacing for \moderncvstyle{classic}, but create vertical spacing issues for other \moderncvstyle{xyz}.
\section{Languages}
\cvitem{}{
\begin{itemize}
\item TeX-speak
\end{itemize}}
% \cvitem{}{job description text here}
\end{document}
My problem is similar to this:
Vertical space before section title in moderncv
I couldn't successfully implement the solution found there though.
And similar to this:
How can I remove extra space after `itemize` in moderncv?
But the answer didn't work for me.
Best Answer
Add the following lines in the preamble:
The redefinition of
\section
is applied only when you choose the styleclassic
so if you want to change style, you have no problems.To have better spacing, now choose
-0.5em
instead of-1.2em
when the\cventry
contains lists.MWE:
