I would like to have hardcopy (printing) respect GUI Vim's linespace or some similar option in order to achieve double-spaced printing. Is there a way to do this?
The current alternative is to copy the text out of Vim (MacVim) and paste it into Microsoft Word, and then use their double-spacing feature. I would also be willing to use some kind of Vim command-line fu or postscript after-processing with Unix tools, if any of this is a possible solution. Is there some way to pass a simple arg to the postscript writer? Unlikely to work: Since there are long lines and rarely newlines, simply replacing each newline with two won't work (unless you can somehow intercept the wrapping done for printing, plus respect page breaks and headers). I sort of suspect some dev is required but I am asking here first anyway. If so, I would guess it's probably a simple variable that goes to the vim postscript writer that needs to be changed. If the translation from linespace to the postscript variable is not direct, then a janky version, e.g. setting the var directly, would be suitable. Perhaps as a postscript argument. Linespace is just a good way of describing what typically goes into double-spacing.
