What is the difference, in LaTeX's head, between these two documents:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{2.0}
\lipsum[2]
\end{document}
…and…
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{2.0}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[2]
\end{document}
The first doesn't result in a double spaced document, I feel it should. Is it only possible to set \baselinestretch
in the preamble, or can it be changed part way through a document?
(Note: I'm using the setspace
package for double spacing, I'm curious mostly as to the behavior of \baselinestretch
here…)
Best Answer
You just need to use
\selectfont
after you change\baselinestretch
in the first example.
