Sets the line spacing for streaming output.

Syntax

_pspacing = <expN>

<expN>

The amount of line spacing. The valid range is 1 to 3, inclusive:

A value of 1 represents single spacing.

A value of 2 represents double spacing. There is one blank line between printed lines.

A value of 3 represents triple spacing. There are two blank lines between printed lines.

Paragraph spacing is in multiples of the height of the line just printed, which depends on the tallest font used in printing the line. You can specify a fractional number for <expN> to space text by partial line heights.

Default

The default for _pspacing is 1, which sets line spacing to single-line.
