+<tt>\baselineskip</tt> is a <a href="ltx-86.html#lencmd">length command</a>
+which specifies the minimum space between the botton of two successive
+lines in a paragraph.
+Its value may be automatically reset by LaTeX, for example, by font changes
+in the text.
+The value used for an entire paragraph is the value
+in effect at the blank line or command which ends the paragraph unit.
+<p>
+<tt>\baselinestretch</tt> scales the value of <tt>\baselineskip</tt>. Its
+default value is 1.0 but it may be reset with a
+<a href="ltx-18.html"><tt>\renewcommand</tt></a> command. If one wants
+to change the spacing in a document one should reset <tt>\baselinestretch</tt>
+and <strong>not</strong> <tt>\baselineskip</tt> as the latter may be reset
+automatically by LaTeX to account for local variations in the text, but it
+is always scaled by the former. In principle, "double spacing" can be obtained
+by <tt>\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{2}</tt>.
