Space saving tricks for LaTeX

1. Use savetrees

\usepackage{savetrees}

2. Change lengths for floats (reference)

1. Caption package

    \usepackage{caption}
    \captionsetup{aboveskip=0pt}
    \captionsetup{belowskip=0pt}
   

2. Use setlength: \setlength{\abovecaptionskip}{0pt}

    \floatsep
    \textfloatsep
    \intextsep
    \dbltextfloatsep
    \dblfloatsep
    \abovecaptionskip
    \belowcaptionskip
   

3. Use \vspace{}

3. Change other lengths with \setlength (reference)

1. Paragraphs

    \parindent
    \parskip
   

2. Maths

    \abovedisplayskip
    \belowdisplayskip
    \arraycolsep
   

3. Lists

    \topsep
    \partopsep
    \itemsep
   

4. Increase penalties (reference)

• Default values:

    \linepenalty=10
    \hyphenpenalty=50
    \exhyphenpenalty=50
    \interlinepenalty=0
    \widowpenalty=150
    \brokenpenalty=100
  

5. Reduce space around section headings with titlesec package (reference)

```white
\usepackage[compact]{titlesec}
\titlespacing{\section}{0pt}{2ex}{1ex}
\titlespacing{\subsection}{0pt}{1ex}{0ex}
\titlespacing{\subsubsection}{0pt}{0.5ex}{0ex}
