>From e9f9f2126a24841bb19970292716819f0300872b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Akira Yokosawa <akiysw@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 16 Apr 2016 12:50:54 +0900 Subject: [PATCH 3/3] advsync: Tweak vertical spacing around code snippets In the `Guarantees` subsection, code snippets have wider vertical spacings around them than other code snippets in the section. This is supposedly caused by the interaction between the 'enumerate' tag and the 'minipage' tag. This commit removes \vspace{} commands around minipages within enumerations. Some \vspace{} commands which break sentences are reduced in width and moved into minipages to stabilize the resulting vertical spacings.
