You can also change the other spacing by using the \setstretch command, e.g. \setstretch{1.8}. To get single-spaced, one-and-half-spaced, and doublespaced effects, you can also use \setstretch{1}, \setstretch{1.5} and \setstretch{2} respectively.
To achieve a particular line-spacing multiple such as 1.5, 2, 3 etc., the \baselinestretch command has to be set to seemingly “strange” values; for example by using the \linespread command.
To change line spacing in the whole document use the command \linespread covered in Text Formatting. Alternatively, you can use the \usepackage{setspace} package, which is also covered in Text Formatting.
Press Ctrl+1 for single-spacing, Ctrl+5 for 1.5 spacing, or Ctrl+2 for double-spacing.
Use the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl + 1 to single space, Ctrl + 2 to double space, or Ctrl + 5 to set the spacing to 1.5 line spacing on any line, paragraph, or all highlighted text.
singlespacing is the default. No additional space will be inserted. The text will be typeset with LaTeX's default interline spacing, which is about 20 percent of the line height. onehalfspacing means one-and-a-half spacing like in our example.
Single spacing is the default. You can get other spacings by using the \setstretch{baselinestretch} command in the preamble to set the baselinestretch appropriately. The default spacing with this style option is single spacing.
The default line spacing in Word is 1.15. By default, paragraphs are followed by a blank line and headings have a space above them. Go to Home > Line and Paragraph Spacing. Select Line Spacing Options, and then choose the options you want under Spacing.
This is what Word refers to as single spacing. Thus, 1,5 linespacing equals a leading of 1.5*14.4=21.6pt for a 12pt fontsize.
Does 1.5 count as double spaced? No, but 1.5 spacing is useful in various circumstances. Depending on the font and size, a 1.5 space may be a better option for readability.
To change the font family in a LaTeX document, we can use the \usepackage command. In addition, we should know that there are several other font packages available for LaTeX we can use, such as Arial, Helvetica, and Palatino.
In the body section of the Web page, surround the section that you want spaced out with the tags <p class="space"> and </p>. Every line between those tags will be spaced as you have specified.
\linewidth is the width of lines in the current environment. Normally equal to \textwidth, it may be different within an environment such as list or quote environments.
…the obvious short answer is that you get another half-line of spacing by choosing Double. The longer answer is that by choosing Double, you get twice the spacing than by choosing Single. By choosing 1.5 lines, you get 50% more spacing than by choosing Single.
For instance, a single-spaced MS Word page can contain around 550 words, whereas a 1.5 spaced page can have approximately 375 words. Lastly, a double-spaced MS Word page can fit roughly 275 words.
For example, setting line spacing to 1.15 will increase the space by 15 percent, and setting line spacing to 3 increases the space by 300 percent (triple spacing).
1. Single—Creates single-spacing based on your current font size. 2. 1.5 Lines—Creates a space and a half as large as your current font size.
\hspace. The \hspace command adds horizontal space. The length of the space can be expressed in any terms that LaTeX understands, i.e., points, inches, etc. You can add negative as well as positive space with an \hspace command.
