Hi,
I'd like to increase the vertical spacing between lines.
I found this issue https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/1592, and so went to "Tools --> Configuration Files --> filetypes.common", but changes I make and save there don't seem to have any effect. So, a few questions:
- What is the syntax for this config file? Does a leading space indicate a comment? Do I need the pound sign or remove it?
# == comment
Hi Lex. Thanks.
The file is filled with descriptive lines of text, but they are not commented. Is a leading space also considered a comment?
- What are the units for the line spacing (line_height). Pixels?
yes
- How do I get my changes here to take affect?
Save the filetypes.common opened from the menu above WFM.
What does WFM mean?
I've tried changing the settings, uncommenting the `[styling]` marker, changing the font, and restarting Geany, but nothing gets the line spacing to change.
This is on Debian Testing, with Geany 1.36.
A quick search for `line_height` finds several issues like this, https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/2287#issuecomment-610713286 where the exact content is shown. You probably are missing the [styling] section.
Thanks for the link, and the help, but that doesn't appear to fix it. Any ideas what else could be the issue?
Thanks, -- John
