Spacing between bullet points

Question

How to customize the spacing between two items within \begin{itemize} and \end{itemize}, without every time putting for eg. say, \vspace{3mm} ? Thank you.

Answer 1

One approach is as follows, if you are thinking of a single list (else change itemsep globally):

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\begin{document}

% default
\begin{itemize}
\item first item
\item second item
\item third item
\end{itemize}

\textbf{Customize}
{
\newlength\savlength
\setlength{\savlength}{\itemsep}

\begin{itemize}
\setlength{\itemsep}{10mm}
\item first item
\item second item
\item third item

\item fourth item
\setlength{\itemsep}{0.mm}
\item fifth item
\item sixth item
\end{itemize}
\setlength{\itemsep}{\savlength}
}

\textbf{Default}

% default
\begin{itemize}
\item first item
\item second item
\item third item
\end{itemize}

\end{document}
