How to decrease the space between title and toc in Quarto

[Theaang]

Description

I am using Quarto to create a PDF. When I chose not to include the author and date, the distance between the title and table of contents did not shorten but left a vertical space. I have attempted modifications using LaTeX methods but did not work. Here is the original setting:

---
title: "Supplemental Material 3: Preprocessed Effect Sizes from Invididual Source Data"
toc: true
format: pdf
editor: visual
---

I would greatly appreciate any help on this question!

As PDF format uses LaTeX you have to use LaTeX code to do that.
The spacing is the default.

One way (possibly not the best) is to use the partials provided by Quarto (https://quarto.org/docs/journals/templates.html#html-partials) and add a line before the toc is added \vspace{-2cm}.

You can search for a better solution on the Internet and use keep-tex: true to fiddle with LaTeX code.

specific suggestion to incorporate in a .qmd document after the yaml

```{=latex}
\vspace{-2.5cm}```
