New WritingML: LineSpace
Introducing the LineSpace WritingML tag. *Wink*
         Example: {LineSpace:VALUE} Text to be linespace'd goes here. {/LineSpace}

The LineSpace tag allows you to adjust the line spacing for a block of text. The line space VALUE must be a number between 1.0 (single spaced) through 3.0 (triple spaced).

Note that the "default" line spacing used by web browsers is actually 1.2, which means that using {linespace:1.0} will produce more compressed and compacted text than normal. I've left the ability to do this in as it may be useful in poetry and certain other writings. If you want people to be able to easily read your work, please be careful how you use this tag. *Wink*

Here is a set of examples demonstrating the effect on a real block of text... in this case, a poem by yours truly. *Smile*

Normal:
This is a short little poem,
one I will use just to show 'em,
what linespace is able to do,
with just a mouse click or two.


With {linespace:1} {/linespace}
This is a short little poem,
one I will use just to show 'em,
what linespace is able to do,
with just a mouse click or two.


With {linespace:1.5} {/linespace}
This is a short little poem,
one I will use just to show 'em,
what linespace is able to do,
with just a mouse click or two.


With {linespace:2} {/linespace}
This is a short little poem,
one I will use just to show 'em,
what linespace is able to do,
with just a mouse click or two.


With {linespace:3} {/linespace}
This is a short little poem,
one I will use just to show 'em,
what linespace is able to do,
with just a mouse click or two.


While I provided examples using 1, 1.5, 2 and 3, you can use any line space value... 1.2, 2.3, 2.9, etc.


Enjoy!
