Feature request: linespacing in (foot)notes

[Wolfgang Schuster]

Hi,

I try to change the linedistance in my footnotes but this
is a pain with the current interface, I slightly modified
the \setnotebodyfont macro and hope this could also be
done in core-not.

\def\setnotebodyfont
   {\let\setnotebodyfont\relax
    \restoreglobalbodyfont
    \switchtobodyfont[\noteparameter\c!bodyfont]%
    \setuptolerance[\noteparameter\c!tolerance]%
    \setupalign[\noteparameter\c!align]%
    \noteparameter\c!commands} % <- new

I used this setup in my document:

\startsetups footnote:interlinespace

\setupinterlinespace[line=11pt]

\stopsetups

\setupnote
   [footnote]
   [bodyfont=9pt,
    commands=\directsetup{footnote:interlinespace}]

Regards,
Wolfgang

You can also exploit the before key for this.

I would suggest using setups key rather than commands. In fact, I wish all 
commands had a setup=... key. Tweaking the before key is not always 
convinient.

I already tried the before key but it comes to early and
\restoreglobalbodyfont cancels the setting.

I tried also \setupbodyfontenvironment but I don't want
this because I could have also normal running text in
the same size as the footnote but the linedistance need
to be bigger.

I don't care if the key is commands, setups, inbetween ...
as long as it possible to change the linedistance I'm happy
but something need to be done and I mean now and not in
a few months/years, we live long enough with this restriction.
