[NTG-context] Changing the line spacing

[NTG-context] Changing the line spacing

Hi,
In my class, I have a student with special needs, specifically requiring
more space between lines than for other students. Should I choose a
specific font with a specific size ?
Thanks
Fabrice

\starttext
 Nous allons faire un raisonnement par {\bf l'absurde}. Supposons que
\dm{\frac13} est un nombre décimal.

      Il existe donc un entier relatif \im{a} et un entier naturel \im{p}
tels que
      \startformula
        \frac13=\frac{a}{10^p}
      \stopformula
      Par conséquent, on aurait alors \im{10^p=3a}. Ainsi, 3 divise
\im{10^p}.

      Or, un nombre est divisible par 3 si la somme de ses chiffres est
divisible par 3. Cependant, la somme des chiffres de \im{10^p} est 1 qui
n'est pas divisible par 3. On arrive donc à une absurdité.

      Par conséquent, \dm{\frac13} n'est pas un nombre décimal.

Hi Fabrice,

for more interlinear space, I’d use something like:

  \showframe\showgrid
  \setupwhitespace[lin]
  \setupinterlinespace[line=6ex]

Otherwise, the sample you provided has irregular interlinear space in
fractions. This improves the legibility in general (not just for your
student).

Use both `\showframe` and `\showgrid` to check whether spacing is
consistent for the contents of each line.

As for your student, I guess you might need to figure out first which
their individual needs are.

I hope it might help,

Pablo

Hi Pablo,
Thanks for your suggestion, which works as long as you remove the line "
\setupwhitespace[lin]" that generates the error message.

Of course, Fabrice, `\setupwhitespace[line]` was intended.
