How to change the space between the itemize items in latex?

Question

How to change the space between the itemize "items" in latex so that I can continue to use the "itemize" and "item" tag without needing to redefine any new tags?

Thank for your help!

Solution

You could set the separating space inside an itemize environment.

\begin{itemize}
  \setlength{\itemsep}{5pt}

  \item Item1
  \item Item2
\end{itemize}

Alternatively, afaik, you would need to create your own environment.
