I need to display one article within my book that is in double space,
like what is a basic requirement in US colleges for turning in papers.
Basically, I need readers to have lots of space above the text to be
able to write some notes above every line.
This is a line of text.
% <-- here is the space between lines
% <-- this space here is as tall as a line of text.
% <-- here is the next space between lines
This is the next visible line of text.
The closest I can get is the "big" setting in `\setupinterlinespace`,
but it isn't big enough. I've also tried manual measurements in cm, but
I have no idea which setting is typographically good.
\setupinterlinespace[on, big]
\startlinenumbering
\input article
\stoplinenumbering
\setupinterlinespace[off]
How can I achieve double space text in ConTeXt?
The \setupinterlinspace accepts also numbers to choose a multiple of the
default distance or you pass a dimension where you set a fixed value for
the distance between the baselines.
%%%% begin example
\showgrid
\starttext
\samplefile{lorem}
\page
\start \setupinterlinespace[2]% 2 lines, also possible: 1.5, 3, ...
\samplefile{lorem}\par
\stop
\page
\start \setupinterlinespace[line=5.6ex]% also possible:
\setupinterlinespace[5.6ex]
\samplefile{lorem}\par
\stop
\stoptext
%%%% end example
