[Tex/LaTex] TeX editor with line-spacing preferences

editors

Do you know a TeX editor where one can increase the line spacing/change the line spacing in preferences?

LibreOffice Writer could do the trick provided it did not prepend 0xfeff to files encoded in UTF-8, which prevents LaTeX engines from working.

I'm happy with VIm. It's just that I like writing prose in a double-spaced environment.

  • In Emacs, the line spacing can be set with the line-spacing variable. To change its value, add the following to your .emacs (5 stands for the number of pixels put below lines):

    (setq-default line-spacing 5)
    
  • GVim, use:

    :set linespace=12

  • jEdit – Under Utilities: Global options: Text area you'll find Extra vertical lines spacing (in pixels).

  • sublime (a commercial text editor with syntax highlighting) – Add "line_padding_bottom: 10", to the user's preferences.

  • TeXstudio – Go to menu “Options” —> “Configure TeXstudio…”, then on tab “Editor” you find an entry “Line spacing” (default is 100%).
