General ⇒ line spacing [baselinestretch]

[jezikk]

Hi,
I'm solving a problem with line spacing in the parts of text (article). For example the content I need to be made with line spacing 1.0 (standart) and other text with 1.5.

I tried to use command \renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1.5} in front of assigned parts, but that was without efect.

I've attached part of my work. The parts that I want change line spacing in are marked.

Thank you

Hi jezikk,

I recommend the setspace package. That package provides commands (\singlespacing, \onehalfspacing and \doublespacing) and environments (singlespace, onehalfspace and doublespace) that allow to change the spacing within the document. You will find the documentation inside the setspace.sty file.

The setspace package offers commands to change line spacing wherever you want. Looking at your preamble, I suggest some changes, supplements and replacements.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[czech]{babel}
\usepackage[bindingoffset=1cm,centering,includeheadfoot,margin=2cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{setspace}
\usepackage{txfonts}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\begin{document}
  \onehalfspacing
  \blindtext

  \medskip
  \singlespacing
  \blindtext

  \medskip
  \doublespacing
  \blindtext
\end{document}

The package also offers environments with the same name as the switches. The reason why you shouldn't use the a4wide package can be found in l2tabu. Information about the used packages is available on the servers of the CTAN (Comprehensive TeX Archive Network) or in the CTAN Catalogue.

Ok,
pls where I have to insert the file setspace.sty?

Hi jezikk,

do you use MiKTeX on Windows? Then you could install it with the MiKTeX Package Manager (Browse packages). But first check if it is already installed, try to compile your document after you included the line \usepackage{setspace} like Thorsten showed above.

Hi,
I use such structure

{\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1.5}
Your text1.
After this text you need insert blank line that make "Latex group".

}

{\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1}
Your text2.
After this text you need insert blank line.

}

The most common way is to use setspace because of better adjustment. Increasing interleaf this way is not recommendable.
