-<h3>Double-spaced documents in LaTeX</h3>
-<p/>A quick and easy way of getting inter-line space for copy-editing is
-to change <code>\</code><code>baselinestretch</code> &#8212; <code>\</code><code>linespread{1.2}</code> (or,
-equivalently <code>\</code><code>renewcommand{<code>\</code><code>baselinestretch</code>}{1.2}</code>) may
-be adequate. Note that <code>\</code><code>baselinestretch</code> changes don&#8217;t take
-effect until you select a new font, so make the change in the preamble
-before any font is selected. Don&#8217;t try changing <code>\</code><code>baselineskip</code>:
-its value is reset at any size-changing command so that results will
-be inconsistent.
-<p/>For preference (and certainly for a production document, such as a
-dissertation or an article submission), use a line-spacing package.
-The only one currently supported is <i>setspace</i> (do <em>not</em>
-be tempted by <i>doublespace</i> &#8212; its performance under current
-LaTeX is at best problematical). <i>Setspace</i> switches off
-double-spacing at places where even the most die-hard official would
-doubt its utility (footnotes, figure captions, and so on); it&#8217;s very
-difficult to do this consistently if you&#8217;re manipulating
-<code>\</code><code>baselinestretch</code> yourself.
-<p/>Of course, the real solution (other than for private copy editing) is
-<em>not</em> to use double-spacing at all. Universities, in particular,
-have no excuse for specifying double-spacing in submitted
-dissertations: LaTeX is a typesetting system, not a
-typewriter-substitute, and can (properly used) make single-spaced text
-even more easily readable than double-spaced typewritten text. If you
-have any influence on your university&#8217;s system (for example, through
-your dissertation supervisor), it may be worth attempting to get the
-rules changed (at least to permit a &#8220;well-designed book&#8221; format).
-<p/>Double-spaced submissions are also commonly required when submitting
-papers to conferences or journals. Fortunately (judging by the
-questions from users in this author&#8217;s department), this demand is
-becoming less common.
-<p/>Documentation of <i>setspace</i> appears as TeX comments in the
-package file itself.
