LineSpacing

LineSpacing
is an option for Style and Cell that specifies the spacing between successive lines of text.

Details Details

LineSpacing->{c, 0} leaves space so that the total height of each line is c times the height of its contents.
LineSpacing->{0, n} makes the total height of each line exactly n printer's points.
LineSpacing->{c, n} makes the total height c times the height of the contents plus n printer's points.
LineSpacing->{c, n, max} limits the amount of extra space to be max times the height of a single line of ordinary text in the current font.
A typical default setting for text is LineSpacing->{1, 1}, which leaves space for the contents of the line, plus 1 printer's point (approximately of an inch) of extra space.
LineSpacing->{2, 0} makes text "double spaced".
LineSpacing->{1, -n} tightens text by n printer's points.
LineSpacing applies both to ordinary text and Mathematica expressions, including graphics.
A typical default setting for general Mathematica expressions is LineSpacing->{1.25, 0, 2}.
In ordinary text, LineSpacing determines the spacing between lines produced by automatic linebreaking. For lines produced by explicit newline characters, ParagraphSpacing is added.
In Mathematica expressions, LineSpacing is used whether lines are produced by automatic linebreaking or by explicit newline characters.
Extra space specified by LineSpacing is inserted equally above and below a line, except that no extra space is inserted before the first line or after the last line of an expression or cell.
