Basically, I need readers to have lots of space above the text to be able to write some notes above every line. This is a line of text. % <-- here is the space between lines % <-- this space here is as tall as a line of text. % <-- here is the next space between lines This is the next visible line of text. The closest I can get is the "big" setting in `\setupinterlinespace`, but it isn't big enough. I've also tried manual measurements in cm, but I have no idea which setting is typographically good. \setupinterlinespace[on, big] \startlinenumbering \input article \stoplinenumbering \setupinterlinespace[off] How can I achieve double space text in ConTeXt? --Joel [-- Attachment #1.2: Type: text/html, Size: 1218 bytes --] [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/plain, Size: 493 bytes --] ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread

The \setupinterlinspace accepts also numbers to choose a multiple of the default distance or you pass a dimension where you set a fixed value for the distance between the baselines. %%%% begin example \showgrid \starttext \samplefile{lorem} \page \start \setupinterlinespace[2]% 2 lines, also possible: 1.5, 3, ... \samplefile{lorem}\par \stop \page \start \setupinterlinespace[line=5.6ex]% also possible: \setupinterlinespace[5.6ex] \samplefile{lorem}\par \stop \stoptext %%%% end example Wolfgang ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
