I use the following snippet to automatically generate list of tables in my document:

\newpage
\phantomsection
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\listtablename}
\singlespacing
\listoftables

The result

As can be seen, the resulting items have different spacings based on their chapters. How can I make all of them equally spaced? Like this:

    As always on this site please provide a full (but minimal) example that others can copy and test as is. Here we have to add a lot of stuff before your code can be tested, and thus a lot of people will just ignore your question. Many classes have a feature where each new chapter writes some vertical space to the lot and lof. But since you give absolutely no information about the setup you are using we cannot say for sure. – daleif Jul 08 '20 at 10:44

The \chapter command puts space into the LoF and LoT for each chapter using the macro \addvspace, which is also used in other places. I originally suggested in your preamble put

\renewcommand{\addvspace}{}

which is likely to have some unexpected side effects.

In the memoir class (a superset of book and report) the chapter spacing in the LoF, LoT, etc is controlled by the \insertchapterspace macro which calls on \addvspace. With this class, in your preamble put

\renewcommand{\insertchapterspace}{}

which will result in no chapter spaces in the tables.

  • Oh, this is as wrong as it could be! You're advising to redefine a kernel macro that's used is several places and not only in the lists of figures and similar places. – egreg Dec 05 '20 at 23:23
  • @egreg I did not know that. I'll change my answer on the assumption that the OP could use the memoir class which has a macro\insertchapterspace for controlling chapter spacing in the LoF, LoT, etc. which involves no changes to \addvspace. – Peter Wilson Dec 06 '20 at 18:43
