LyX: reduce spacing in TOC

Question

Is it possible to reduce line spacing in the Table of Contents?

I have tried adding \singlespacing before the TOC but I get "Undefined control sequence"

I have also tried \setlength{\itemsep}{0mm}

try setting in the preamble \usepackage{setspace} and after \begin{document} write \addtocontents{toc}{\protect\setstretch{0.9}} (needs Ctrl-L for the TeX mode.

You can decrease the number to any value you need.

Another possibility is to set the additional space to zero:

\begingroup
\def\addvspace#1{}
\tableofcontents
\endgroup

This works! However, the spacing between Parts and Sections is still quite big even when setting \setstretch{0}. Can it be decreased any further? – liarspocker Apr 28 '13 at 22:03

From other posts I guess that you are using the article class where the spacing is large.

In contrast, for the report class or a similar class like scrreprt, the spacing between TOC entries is about single spaced. Hence, one solution (and my suggestion) would be to switch to the report class......

(There are some comparisons: Regarding the `book`, `report`, and `article` document classes: what are the main differences? and Section numbering in article vs. report class)
