It's my first time using LaTeX and I've encountered something very strange. I have some mathematical/logic stuff that I wanted to put inside a verbatim tag (in order to enforce linebreaks and for formatting reasons), and somehow it gets surrounded by massive multiple-line linebreaks.

The LaTeX code is basically:

...random text...

\begin{verbatim}
logic stuff
\end{verbatim}

...some more text...

And for some reason, while formatted, the stuff inside the verbatim tags is separated to the other two columns by 3 or so blank lines, and I have no clue how to remove them as I don't know why they're even there in the first place. I've used the same exact formatting at other places in the document with no weird blank lines at all, and I can't find anything that's different from those cases either. This is how it looks in practice:

  • you give very few clues but I assume that you are using book or some other class that defaults to \flushbottom and that at the top of the next page there is some large unbreakable box, so the page you show has to b estretched. – David Carlisle May 09 '18 at 16:35
  • maybe try to delete the empty line before and after the verbatime environment. – Sir Sy May 09 '18 at 19:23
  • @DavidCarlisle that might very well be true, as I said I'm not overly adept in LaTeX. I use a format known as "acm sigplan" that I just downloaded, and filled it in with my wanted categories. Can I force my document to not adhere to flushbottom somehow? – Nyfiken Gul May 10 '18 at 08:27

  • @DavidCarlisle Thank you, that worked wonders. Write your comment as an answer if you want me to accept your answer. – Nyfiken Gul May 10 '18 at 14:18
  • thanks for confirming it worked so I'll close as duplicate, cheers. – David Carlisle May 10 '18 at 14:23
