Why \setupinterlinespace needs [line]?

Why \setupinterlinespace needs [line]?

[Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky]

Hello,

I wonder why one must provide the line argument for \setupinterlinespace?

\setupinterlinespace[line=4ex] 

IMHO, it is a tautology. The texshow says that \setupinterlinespace[4ex]  (or \setupinterlinespace[big] ) is enough, but I cannot make it work.

Hi,

the "line"-parameter is used to set the global baselinedistance. You can switch
local to a bigger distance with the "big" or "medium" keywords and back to the
normal distance with "small" or "reset".

\setupinterlinespace[4ex] is not supported, you misunterstod the explanation,
you can only set dimensions for the "line"-parameter.

I made a small example for you:

\starttext
\input knuth\par
\setupinterlinespace[big]
\input knuth\par
\setupinterlinespace[small]
\input knuth\par
\stoptext

Greetings
Wolfgang
