Writers workshop: describing Leo

2013-10-22 Thread Edward K. Ream

There's an ugly hack at the end of this thread: http://www.qtforum.org/article/32901/double-spacing-changing-line-height-in-qtextedit.html I doubt that would work well in Leo, but it could be attached to a 'select' event on @doublespaced nodes? -->Jake On 10/22/2013 9:12 AM, Terry Brown wrot
