%LaTeX style
% Document style option "dspc"
% -- usage:  \documentstyle[...,dspc,...]{...}
%
% This style option produces a double-spaced document by redefining
% the LaTeX parameter \baselinestretch to 2.
%
% It also fixes a number of problems with standard LaTeX, as follows:
%
% 1. A new environment "singlespace" is provided, within which single
%    spacing will apply. (Note that on entering this environment the
%    \normalsize command is issued automatically.)
% 2. Double spacing is turned off within footnotes and floats (figures
%    and tables).
% 3. Proper double spacing happens below tabular environments and in other
%    places where LaTeX uses a strut.
% 4. Slightly more space is inserted before footnotes.
%
% Note: This version sets a baselinestretch of 2. If this is too much,
%    put  \setstretch{1.7}  (or some appropriate value) before the
%    \begin{document} command. To print the document with single spacing
%    again, without removing "singlespace" environments, just put a
%    \setstretch{1} at the top of the document.

% PLEASE REPORT ANY BUGS
%
% Release date: 6 July 1986
%
% Known bugs:
%    . It might be nice if spacing before the footnote rule (\footins)
%      were provided in a tidier way.
%    . Increasing struts may possibly cause some other obscure part of
%      formatting to fall over.

%---Set up double spacing

\def\baselinestretch{2}


%---New command "\setstretch" (slightly more mnemonic... and easier to type)

\def\setstretch#1{\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{#1}}


%---New environment "singlespace".
%   The baselinestretch only takes effect at a size change, so do one.

\def\singlespace{\def\baselinestretch{1}\@normalsize}
\def\endsinglespace{}


%---Stretch the baseline BEFORE calculating the strut size. This improves
%   spacing below tabular environments etc., probably...
%   Comments are welcomed.

%---Increase the space between last line of text and footnote rule.
%   This is a very untidy way to do it!
