Text blocks/Typography/Spacing/setuplocalinterlinespace

In some situations one may be willing to have a different interlinespace in a particular part of text, header, etc. To this end one can use the command

\setuplocalinterlinespace

or its synonym

\switchtointerlinespace

Either of these commands should be enclosed in a \start...\stop pair. The arguments taken by \setuplocalinterlinespace or its synonym \switchtointerlinespace are analogous to the dimensions used in \setupinterlinespace. Below is an example, with some explanations of the commands.

• \setuppapersize[A5][A5]
  \setupinterlinespace[line=3.2ex] % global setting 
                             % (\setupinterlinespace[3.2ex] == \setupinterlinespace[line=3.2ex])
  
  \starttext
  
  \input ward
  
  \blank 
  \setupinterlinespace[big] % big = 1.5 * global value (small = 1x, medium = 1.25x)
  
  \input ward
  
  \blank 
  
  \setupinterlinespace[reset] % here we go back to the global interlinespace set before
  
  \input ward
  
  \blank 
  \start 
  \setuplocalinterlinespace[line=4ex] % here a local value for the interlinespace is set
  
  \input ward
  
  \stop  % an empty line or \par before the end of the group is necessary
  
  \stoptext
