The workflow shown is using Pandoc to generate the manuscript, as such the linespacing could be set in a yaml header of the manuscript (e.g. setstretch: 2) (or set by the choice of template, e.g. the 'review' template certain journals provide). Of course this could be passed as a command-line argument instead of a yaml header too. This raises a good question regarding these kinds of workflows as to what level of configuration belongs in a Makefile vs in the document itself. On one hand, perhaps using yaml to specify formatting options defeats the goal of separating content from formatting. On the other hand, the RStudio approach for instance can place everything being done with the Makefile in this context into yaml of a single manuscript file. Apologies if this has drifted from the topic, perhaps it is best left to the user to choose.
