Now that I’m writing much more in Tinderbox (rather than outlining or creating analyses) because of the great new text linking features, I’m fiddling a bit more with the text styling features.
I prefer “single spaced” text. This seems like the default in Tinderbox except there is more than a single space between paragraphs. I’d like to just have single spacing everywhere. It’s possible to set this for each note using the text ruler:
But how can I set this “single” as the default instead of the “0.0x 6.0/6.0”?
I tried setting “single” on my note prototype, but new notes reverted back to the other setting. And I think the $LineSpacing attribute doesn’t control the “between paragraphs” line spacing setting.
If I manually enter a $ParagraphSpacing of 5 I get an RTF style of 0.0 2.5/2.5, i.e. (as per the ruler’s Styles → Other…):
So, I think you want ‘none’ as a choice so you can use plain-text double line-return as your paragraph break.
Note: because the document default from $ParagraphSpacing inherits from a Doc Setting with a pop-up (i.e. fixed list of values), only the above style values can be set as that attribute’s doc level default (@eastgate correct?).
I don’t think you can set somethying like double spacing, i.e. style 2.0 0/0, via the $ParagraphSpacing
The pop-up is the top one next to the caption ‘Paragraph Spacing’ and as illustrated is set to ‘8pt’. Being set in Doc setting this is why the Doc default for $ParagraphSpacing can’t be set in the Inspector:
