When doing something like this:
\begin{longtable}{llll}
% Stuff here
\end{longtable}
\begin{longtable}{llll}
% Stuff here
\end{longtable}
What command (I don't know the name of those, I mean like footskip
, topmargin
, etc.) takes care of the space between the two tabulars in this case? I would like to avoid putting a \vspace
here, I don't like to fight with LaTeX, I always lose. 🙂 I would like to reduce the vertical spacing.

longtable
does\vspace{\LTPre}
before a table and\vspace{\LTpost}
after a table, both of which are by default\bigskipammount
.Most latex display environments use
\addvspace
to add their vertical offsets, so that adjacent spaces combine (\addvspace
just adds the maximum of any space currently on the vertical list and the space requested) butlongtable
doesn't do that so you get twice the space you would get from\bigskip
between the tables unless you have set\LTpre
or\LTpost
to something else.
