I am having trouble removing vertical space above the declaration \begin{quotation}. The issue with the spacing below \end{quotation}, however, has been resolved using the command \usepackage[bottom]{footmisc}.

What is the opposite command to the one given? If the command exists, does using both \usepackage[bottom]{footmisc} and it's opposite work against each other?

I have tried other ways to remove the spacing but I still cannot figure it out. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    I should also mention that I used \raggedbottom before inputting the footmisc package. – user253822 Jan 29 '22 at 20:10

    I tried \raggedtop and \usepackage[top]{headmisc} but neither of these commands even exist. – user253822 Jan 29 '22 at 20:11
  • I have absolutely no idea what you have done. Please provide an MWE (from \documentclass... to \end{document}) that we can compile that shows your problem. – Peter Wilson Jan 30 '22 at 18:43
  • To me the opposite of \usepackage[bottom][footmisc} would be\usepackage[top]{footmisc} which would put footnotes at the top of the page, not the bottom, – Peter Wilson Jan 30 '22 at 18:48

(too long for a comment, hence posted as an answer)

Are you absolutely certain that fixing some spacing issue below \end{quotation} was caused by adding the instruction \usepackage[bottom]{footmisc} to the preamble of your document? Are there any footnotes on the page that contains the quotation environment?

The footmisc package calls itself "a portmanteau package for customising footnotes in LaTeX". Section 1.8 of the package's user guide says the following about the bottom option:

In a comment, you mention that \raggedbottom is in effect in you document. That's good, because otherwise the bottom option wouldn't have much of a chance of placing footnotes at the very bottom of the page.

I suppose that the "opposite" of loading footmisc with the bottom option is simply to load footmisc without the bottom option. And, as you've already discovered, there is no package called headmisc. Finally, the opposite of \raggedbottom is \flushbottom.

    Since you've answer the question, I have accepted your post. My issues has not, however, been resolved. As you have mentioned, \usepackage{footmisc} did not solve my problem (I was only convinced it had made a difference). I am going to make a separate post, but thank you for your time. – user253822 Jan 29 '22 at 21:53
  • @user253822 - Thanks. When you write the new query, please provide sufficient information ideally in the form of a compilable test document that starts with \documentclass and ends with \end{document} -- for readers to be able to replicate the issue you're experiencing. – Mico Jan 29 '22 at 22:08
