How do I set the line spacing like LaTeX?

[Elayson]

I created the function below:

#let citacao(body) = block(
  width: 100%,
  inset: (
    left: 4cm,
    top: 0pt,
    bottom: 0pt,
    right: 0pt,
  ),
  breakable: true,
)[
  #set text(size: 10pt)
  #set par(leading: 11.5pt - 1em)
  #body
]

But it isn’t producing the desired result, likely because 1em is based on 12pt rather than 10pt. Could someone help me? Undesired result:

Desired result (Edit: produced in LaTeX):

In other words, I need a 10pt font with 11.5pt line spacing, but that is only possible using the subtraction 11.5pt - 1em.

Hello @Elayson,

I have failed to reproduce your results. For example:

#let citacao(body, size) = block(
  width: 100%,
    inset: (
    left: 4cm,
    top: 0pt,
    bottom: 0pt,
    right: 0pt,
  ),
  breakable: true,
)[
  #set text(size: 10pt)
  #set par(leading: 11.5pt - size)
  #body
]

1em
#citacao(lorem(22), 1em)

10pt
#citacao(lorem(22), 10pt)

12pt
#citacao(lorem(22), 12pt)

Leads to:

Are you using Typst 0.15.1? Is that code originally included into a show rule? Can you try the code I have provided and confirm if you still get the issue?

How to setup the interlinespacing parameters as function of x-height

I recommend this: #show: rest => context { let x-height = measure({ set text(bottom-edge: "baseline", top-edge: "x-height") [x] }).height let ex = x-height / 1em.to-absolute() * 1em set text( top-edge: 2.8 * ex * 0.72, bottom-edge: 2.8 * ex * 0.28, ) set par(leading: 2.8 * ex * 0.28) rest } #lorem(10) Explanation: The x-height will depend on the font, so it’s context-sensitive. Therefore, we have to put everything that depends on x-height in a context {…}. …

On a side note, if you could please edit the title of you post to be in accordance with our guidelines:

Title

The title of your question should make clear what your post is about. Good titles are questions you would ask your friend about Typst.

Here are some examples for good titles:

• How do I add a table footer that repeats on every page?
• How to create a list of CeTZ illustrations?
• What order are show rules applied in?

We hope that this will make it easier for others to find answers to the same question.

Im using Typst 0.15.1. The first image I sent was created in Typst. The second was created in LaTeX. I used the code you sent me, and the result was the same. I edited my title to make it clearer. I read a post about how to set the interlinespacing, but I didn’t understand it. I wouldn’t be able to say if it’s the same problem I’m facing.

Edit: Can I exchange 1em for 10pt?
