I am currently writing a report for my Master's degree, and I have been instructed that the distance between successive lines should be at least 4mm or 13pt.
In a text-editing package like Microsoft Word, this is typically achieved by directly setting a line spacing parameter to 13pt.
However, LaTeX has different rules and seems to have a more complicated line spacing. At the moment my document set up looks like the following:
\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{article}
\usepackage{fullpage}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[parfill]{parskip}
% Other packages I don't think are relevant
\begin{document}
% Content
\end{document}
I am aware of the setspace
package, but it doesn't seem to be intuitive to me how I can directly set a distance between lines?

You can use
\usepackage{leading}
and set distance between two lines with\leading{13pt}
to13pt
. The command replaces the rather more difficult LaTeX command\linespread{<ratio>}
, where the leading is specified by reference to the font size. See: leading packageMWE:
