Lists

List environments like itemize can be customized.

Itemize with small item spacing:

\begin{itemize}
\setlength{\itemsep}{0mm}

NOTE: You will not be able to modify topsep and partopsep inside a list environment because the space was already added at that point.

NOTE: The default values of these lengths depend on the depth of the list environment.

See Dense Lists for an example how to modify topsep and partopsep

Include an horizontal rule in your text:

Floats

Floating environments allow you to have Figures to be placed automatically in sensible places by LaTeX.
