Thanks Brian, but that does not help me adjust the line spacing or height
of a line.
I use emacs24 for organising, programming in Python, PHP and for writing
fiction. Visual line mode is perfect except for the minor irritation of my
having to put in that extra linefeed to clearly visually separate
paragraphs.
Being able to turn visual mode off is handy too - each paragraph ends up on
one line - its effectively folding for fiction ;) - very handy when
scanning a 10k+ word story.
The 'enhancement' I'm after is being able to make the explicit newline take
up more screen height than the implicit newline used in visual-line-mode so
that there is no need to put in two explicit newlines to separate
paragraphs clearly. I think this would be universally appreciated.
I guess I could possibly dig into the code and rebind the line-spacing
within the visual-line-mode relevant scope but it would take me an age to
work out how to do that.
Cheers,
Paul
