How do I get a double-spaced document?
\setupinterlinespace[big] seems to do nothing ...

default is 2.8ex (.72/.28 ratio), so gb may try 5.6ex


But why doesn't \setupinterlinespace work? Or am I using the
wrong syntax?


This works:

  \setupinterlinespace[big]
  \starttext
  \dorecurse{10}{\input knuth}
  \stoptext

This doesn't:

  \setupinterlinespace[big]
  \switchtobodyfont[10pt]
  \starttext
  \dorecurse{10}{\input knuth}
  \stoptext

But I don't know whether that's a bug or a feature or a side-effect.

interesting; this is handled in:

\def\setuprelativeinterlinespace[#1]%
 {\processallactionsinset % \regelwit = dummy !
    [#1]
    [      \v!on=>\oninterlineskip,
          \v!off=>\offinterlineskip,
        \v!reset=>\setfontparameters,% just \setstrut, test first
      \s!unknown=>\assignvalue{#1}\regelwit{1.00}{1.25}{1.50}%
                  \spacing\regelwit]}

now, (apart from \regelwit being dutch), this value is used nowhere else, so this setting will not be seen afterwards

in this respect it's not a bug but just a characteristics; however, it would make sense to let it carry over, so ...

i have to think about it
