Thank you for the report. I agree covington should not touch this. It also sets \raggedbottom
, which is not necessary.
I suspect the reason is that this package initially was a personal macro collection of Michael's. I now added a general option keeplayout
to opt-out these presettings.
Could you please test and report back?
Just got a chance to test out the change. Downloaded the update and keeplayout
works great for me! Thanks for getting to this so quickly!
Thanks for testing. Covington 1.5. has just been submitted to CTAN.
Not sure if it's relevant, but I am using
memoir
primarily.I just ran into an issue where setting all the
memoir
settings indicated that something was overwriting my\textfloatsep
length (\setlength{\textfloatsep}{0pt}
). I narrowed this down tocovington
package after a bit of work.The space above/below an
example
,examples
, andexercise
environments should IMHO either follow the uniformity of the length that the user sets for the entire document or only apply to thesecovington
environments. 0.7in is quite large and shouldn't be forced upon users against their wishes for\textfloatsep
in all other floats.It's also unclear to me why
covington
needs to overwrite this length. While true that I can set this length again aftercovington
is loaded, it was unexpected and I prefer to keep certain preamble definitions together (in this case, formemoir
), some of which require loading very early due to package dependencies.Seems there are several options to support users like me, or in general:
\textfloatsep
\textfloatsep
\textfloatsep
and 0.7in - place this vertical white space difference at the top and bottom of anycovington
environmentsThese option, I believe, should support backwards compatibility. There may be option options as well?
Thanks in advance for considering this!
