I need to display one article within my book that is in double space, like what is a basic requirement in US colleges for turning in papers. Basically, I need readers to have lots of space above the text to be able to write some notes above every line.

This is a line of text. % <-- here is the space between lines % <-- this space here is as tall as a line of text. % <-- here is the next space between lines This is the next visible line of text.

The closest I can get is the "big" setting in `\setupinterlinespace`, but it isn't big enough. I've also tried manual measurements in cm, but I have no idea which setting is typographically good.

\setupinterlinespace[on, big]     \startlinenumbering         \input article     \stoplinenumbering \setupinterlinespace[off]

How can I achieve double space text in ConTeXt?

The \setupinterlinspace accepts also numbers to choose a multiple of the default distance or you pass a dimension where you set a fixed value for the distance between the baselines. %%%% begin example \showgrid \starttext \samplefile{lorem} \page \start \setupinterlinespace[2]% 2 lines, also possible: 1.5, 3, ... \samplefile{lorem}\par \stop \page \start \setupinterlinespace[line=5.6ex]% also possible: \setupinterlinespace[5.6ex] \samplefile{lorem}\par \stop \stoptext %%%% end example Wolfgang
