LyX ⇒ Different Line Spacing for Footnotes

[ExecutorElassus]

This is probably a fairly simple issue, but is there a way to specify line-spacing rules specifically for footnote text? I'm required to double-space the main body text, but double-spacing the footnotes is neither required nor practical.

Is there a way to set that globally?

Cheers,

You could use the setspace package. It adjusts the line spacing of the body text, but keeps the normal tight line spacing for footnotes, also for figure and table captions.

Code: Select all

\usepackage[doublespacing]{setspace}

That did the trick. Thanks!

EDIT: well, sorta. Captions are still double-spaced; is that intended behavior?

Update: there's one problem with using 'setspace' though: I can only set the default spacing at single. If I try to set it to one-half, XeTeX chokes on a conflicting instruction.

So: is there a way to set:

caption spacing and quotation blocks to single,
footnotes to one-half, and
all the rest to double?

Hi again,

I've been working with a document for a while now, and I find that my footnotes are spaced badly. The space between footnotes is single, but the space within them is 1.5: this creates an uneven text that I don't want. My main text is 1.5 spaced, and I have the following relevant lines in my preamble:

Code: Select all

\defaultfontfeatures{Mapping=tex-text}
\usepackage[ruled]{bigfoot}
\DeclareNewFootnote{default}
\DeclareNewFootnote{B}[fnsymbol]
\MakeSortedPerPage{footnoteB}
\usepackage[onehalfspacing]{setspace}
\usepackage{chngcntr}
\counterwithout{footnote}{chapter}
\definecolor{magenta}{RGB}{102,0,204}
\deffootnote[0.75em]{0.5em}{1em}{\textsuperscript{\thefootnotemark}}

Have I set something up here incorrectly?

Thanks,

EE
