Subject: Marginal heads and non-text sections
Date: Tue, 12 Oct 2010 10:39:32 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <AANLkTiknik6_EO7Bdqq+d2cgCSMAtpk7NEZfq3sDzy5T@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I'm having trouble understanding space inserted around itemize and
TABLE objects.  I found some great advice from the mailing list
archives, and managed to cobble together a setup that *almost* works.
Now I have only two problems.  I welcome any help.

First: In the example below, the word "monkey" creates no vertical
space---even if it's commented out, there's no change in the space
between "Title" and "alpha".  I'd like to tighten that space up---I've
been resorting to \vskip{-10ex}, but surely there's a way to not put
that space there in the first place.  I'm already using
packed,intro,joinedup for the itemize in an attempt to shove it as
high as possible; is there another way?

Second: in the same example, the "Second" subject does not appear.
Uncommenting the llama doesn't make any surprising difference (well,
it moves the table down, showing that tables don't have the
space-filling property of itemizes), but uncommenting the apricot does
cause the "Second" subject to appear.  How can I force the "Second"
subject to appear next to the table?

Thank you for any help.
