Line spacing in preview

phammo1 · 11-16-2014, 08:39 AM

Hi, just wondering if it's possible to increase the line spacing (not the font size) in the editor's preview window?

I can't see a setting in the Preferences, and looking around in tweak_book_gui.json, which appears to be where the settings are stored, I can see things like preview_base_font_size, but nothing that seems to relate to line spacing. I'm wondering if there is such a setting, that I could add to tweak_book_gui.json ?

'Preview', It is supposed to be close to what you see on the device.
If the lines are to close there?

In the CSS: line-height: 1.3; (or a fractionally bigger number than it was)

Preview renders the book according to whatever styles the book has. The font settings are simply there for books that have no font styles, so that the user can control what fallback fonts the preview uses.

OK, thanks. I'm just working with a few ebooks that have no styles defined, but I can define the line spacing in each one as suggested.
