\setupinterlinespace

\setupinterlinespace

[Christopher G D Tipper]

Hi all,

This is isn't really a request for technical advice, merely documentation, as I have a working solution.

Basically, the situation is I am trying to create a style for my publications that I can include at the beginning of a document in the recommended manner (ie \input mystylesheet)

so I have 

\setupinterlinespace[line=16pt]

at the top of mystylesheet.tex (the bodyfont is defined at the same position, so we don't have to worry about inconsistencies).

The problem then is that the linespacing in the footnotes is now 16pt--way big.

the obvious thing is then

\setupfootnotes[line=10pt]

Strangely this compiles but makes no difference. Great big huge interlinespace in the footnotes.

\setupfootnotes[line=10pt,height=fit]

just spits out

! Missing number, treated as zero.

                   f
\@@vnhoogte ->f
               it
\dosetupfootnotes ...footins =\@@vnhoogte 
                                          \multiply \dimen \footins b...
l.21 \setupfootnotes[line=10pt,height=fit]                                          

? 
! Emergency stop.

So freely interpreting Hans last piece of advice I cook up the following:

\def\Footnotespace#1#2{\setupinterlinespace[#1]#2}

\setupfootnotes[command={\Footnotespace[line=10pt]}]

AGAIN! No difference. The document compiles, no error messages, but still big huge interlinespace.

The hack is to use \setupinterlinespace[..] before and after every footnote. Not good. I've lost all the benefit of having the stylesheet, and it just isn't elegant.

What to do?

A 'command' key, when available, is applied to something.

How about defining the interlinespace as relative measure: 

  \setupinterlinespace[3ex]

alternatively you can use the style key: 

... style=\bf\setupinterlinespace[..] ...

Maybe some day I'll add a few more keys.
