How do I get a double-spaced document?
\setupinterlinespace[big] seems to do nothing ...

Giuseppe,

I used this for my daughter's thesis recently.

\setupinterlinespace[line=1.8\bodyfontsize] %change 1.8 to whatever
\setupwhitespace[big]

Best wishes,
Charlie

default is 2.8ex (.72/.28 ratio), so gb may try 5.6ex

But why doesn't \setupinterlinespace work? Or am I using the
wrong syntax?

This works:

   \setupinterlinespace[big]
   \starttext
   \dorecurse{10}{\input knuth}
   \stoptext

This doesn't:

   \setupinterlinespace[big]
   \switchtobodyfont[10pt]
   \starttext
   \dorecurse{10}{\input knuth}
   \stoptext

But I don't know whether that's a bug or a feature or a side-effect.

Cheers, Taco

interesting; this is handled in:

\def\setuprelativeinterlinespace[#1]%
  {\processallactionsinset % \regelwit = dummy !
     [#1]
     [      \v!on=>\oninterlineskip,
           \v!off=>\offinterlineskip,
         \v!reset=>\setfontparameters,% just \setstrut, test first
       \s!unknown=>\assignvalue{#1}\regelwit{1.00}{1.25}{1.50}%
                   \spacing\regelwit]}

now, (apart from \regelwit being dutch), this value is used nowhere 
else, so this setting will not be seen afterwards

in this respect it's not a bug but just a characteristics; however, it 
would make sense to let it carry over, so ...

i have to think about it

Hans

(quote old code btw)

It setupinterlinespace does nothing, why is it present at
all? Can we get this fixed by the end of the week? It would
be nice if I could use it in my thesis.

Maybe also allow some numerical factor which would be a
percentage of the amount ConTeXt would choose by default? So
that

\setupinterlinespace[fraction=1] (default)
fraction = .5 (half *bleah*)
fraction = 1.6 (would give what is usually intended as
"doublespace"

etc.

well, it's originally meant for local usage (and then it comes after a 
bodyfont switch)

what to think of the following 'feature':

\unprotect

\let\currentrelativeinterlinespace\empty

\def\setuprelativeinterlinespace[#1]%
  {\processallactionsinset
     [#1]
     [      \v!on=>\oninterlineskip,
           \v!off=>\offinterlineskip,
         \v!reset=>\let\currentrelativeinterlinespace\empty
                   \let\synchronizerelativeinterlinespace\relax
                   \setfontparameters,
          
\v!auto=>\let\synchronizerelativeinterlinespace\dosynchronizerelativeinterlinespace,
       
\s!unknown=>\assignvalue\commalistelement\currentrelativeinterlinespace{1.00}{1.25}{1.50}%
                   \spacing\currentrelativeinterlinespace]}

\def\dosynchronizerelativeinterlinespace
  {\ifx\currentrelativeinterlinespace\empty\else
     \spacing\currentrelativeinterlinespace
   \fi}

\let\synchronizerelativeinterlinespace\relax

\appendtoks \synchronizerelativeinterlinespace \to \everybodyfont

\protect

so, auto let it adapt to fotn switches:

\setupinterlinespace[auto,big]
\switchtobodyfont[11pt]

\starttext
\dorecurse{10}{\input knuth}
\stoptext

this also works:

\setupinterlinespace[1.75]
