Hi, this is more a question than a feature requests. Since i'm not very good at Tweaking things I ask here if this is easily possible.

My problem is that I will do a Medicine database so for each chapter I'll have a huge list of pages.
In the current configuration when you deploy a chapter to display the list of pages inside, the fonts is quite big and there is a ton of spacing between each page title, which looks nice but when you have about 150 page to display a more "compacted" list would be more useful for me.

If there is an easy way (1-2 lines of code somewhere to edit) I'll gladly take it. If it's too complicated, well I'll forget about it...

Thanks for the help

Hi @guischmo,
Sorry for the late response.

This is possible with a little bit of custom CSS. Add the following to the "Custom HTML Head Content" option in the settings area:

<style>
	.book-content .entity-list h4, .chapter-content .entity-list h4 {
		font-size: 1.2em;
	}
</style>

You can tweak the 1.2 above to suite your needs. The default in BookStack is 1.666. Note that future BookStack updates could affect this tweak.
