Setting the spacing between \itemize entries?

[Angus Leeming]

I can do it with ERT in the body of the document as

<ERT>\begin{itemize}
\setlength{\itemsep}{0pt}</ERT>
<ERT>\item </ERT>foo
<ERT>\item </ERT>bar
<ERT>\end{itemize}

But can I do it for all itemize lists by shoving something in the
preamble instead and using LyX's itemize environment?

I *think* you can do this by resetting \parskip in the preamble, but it
will apply to all list environments (for instance, enumerate as well as
itemize).

This is what I have in the preamble to fix the separation:

\let\olditemize=\itemize
\def\itemize{%
\olditemize%
\setlength{\itemsep}{0.0ex}%
\setstretch{0.95}%
}

\let\oldenumerate=\enumerate
\def\enumerate{%
\oldenumerate%
\setlength{\itemsep}{0.0ex}%
\setstretch{0.9}%
}

I've got it from Christian (thanks!).

Loverly!

Can anybody suggest an equivalent solution for bititems? I need to reduce
the space between bibitems as above for items but changing itemize to
bibitem doesn't work (a very large number of errors).

Any pointers gratefully accepted! Even suggestions on changes to BST files
if need be (an arcane art if ever there was one... :-).

cheers,
