How does one specify leading in ConTeXt?
In traditional typography, it is common to specify the type size and
leading to indicate the inter-line spacing of a block of text. Setting
type "solid" means to use no spacing between lines - not usually a good
idea ;-)
More often, good typography requires a minimum of two points of leading
between adjacent lines and might be specified as 12/14 or 12/15 meaning
to set twelve-point type on a fourteen or fifteen point "leading"
resulting in inter-line spacing of two and three points respectively.
Is there an easy way to specify this in ConTeXt or must I muck about
with baseline skip?
I have tried looking this up on the wiki and in the font documentation
but it either is not there or is worded in such a way I am not
recognizing it.
I'm using MkIV
