+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | interlineskip | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Abbreviation: ã|\iskã% Parameters: ã|unit of measureã% ã|Description:ã% The spacing between lines (from one baseline to the next, not "single" or "double spacing") can be changed using the \interlineskip markup. TEXT1 automatically sets an interline skip usually 2 points greater than the font size when you use \selectfontset.(1) The default font size is 12 points and the default interline skip is 14 points. This may be particularly helpful when using some of the smaller fonts. In general, the shorter the line or smaller the type, less interline skip is needed. ã|Example:ã% 1. Extra space is referred to as leading, pronounced leding (from the days when lead was used). \interlineskip{11pt} The definition of Sociogeology is the study of the geological basis of all social behavior. It explains human behavior by empirical description of the attributes of mineral composition. \par \interlineskip{13pt} It is most successful when it provides detailed description of particulate phenomena and first-order correlations with features . . . +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | The definition of Sociogeology is the study of the geological basis of | | all social behavior.
