I would need a short version of the table of contents. With the package shorttoc I could generate this condensed version of the table of contents but with too much vertical space between the entries. Therefore I added the option "tight"
\usepackage[tight]{shorttoc} But there was no difference in the output. There is one line space between every entry of the section level with the effect that even this short toc version spans several pages. I can't see any difference between the options "loose" or "tight". Maybe it is important to say that I'm using the KOMA-Script class scrbook. I looked into the manuals of both packages but I couldn't find any clue. Any suggestions what I did wrong? Peter
