Change \parskip only inside enumerate & itemize environment

Question

Is there any way that I can change \parskip to a different value inside certain environments, namely enumerate and itemize.

I want to have space between paragraphs (\setlength{\parskip}{1em plus 1pt minus 1pt}), but not inside itemize or enumerate.

Answer 1

If you use the enumitem package, you can say in your preamble

\setlist[itemize]{parsep=0pt}
\setlist[enumerate]{parsep=0pt}

to get what you want. enumitem allows for doing much more list customization, see its documentation for details.
