How do I temporarily increase line spacing? I have some text on my title page:
\begin{center}
{ \Large \textbf{The Great Thesis About Some Very Great Things Indeed With
a Pretty Long Title That Will Probably Be Split Between at Least Two Lines
Or So} }
\end{center}
I'm finding that the line spacing here is too small, but it's fine elsewhere in the document. How can I make the spacing bigger for just this piece of text?
Best Answer
Simply end the paragraph before closing the group associated to \Large so the corresponding
\baselineskip
will be applied; you can do this by adding\par
:Here's a comparison of both results:
I removed the outer braces since they are not necessary, as the
center
environment already forms a group.If you want to have more control over the spacing, you could use the second argument of
\fontsize
(the first argument gives the font size); a little example:producing now:
Another option, not requiring you to explicitly know the font size, is to change the factor in the mandatory argument of
\linespread
:Yet another option is a redefinition of
\baselinestretch
; the following code will produce the same result illustrated just above:Finally, there's the setspace package which offers you a series of commands and environments to change "in a sensible way" the value of
\baselineskip
.
