[Suggestion] Line spacing between lines in string meter

[Jax]

Line spacing between lines. There isn't a way to add spacing between lines right now without separating the string into multiple string meters.

Maybe something like this?

Code: Select all

[String]
Meter=String
Text=One#CRLF#Two#CRLF#Three
Spacing=10

Hi Jax,
(hijacks!)

Good request.
This is a typographical measure called LEADING (but it's pronounced LEDDING; I know, weird). But "Spacing" makes perfect sense as well.

A shorter and more common syntax (in software circles) for what you're asking for would be: One\nTwo\nThree

In the next five minutes, I'm going to request a better KERNING (intercharacter spacing) control as well.

Typographic layout controls are important.

There already is, see: https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/meters/string/inline/#InlineCharacterSpacing

Yes! I realized that after I wrote to you.
I had been using it incorrectly, it turns out.
However, I still can't figure out how to use the third parameter.

Thank you.

I discovered a way to customize line spacing/leading to be anything you wish without needing a new feature.

Code: Select all

[Variables]
FontSize=10

[SomeText]
Meter=String
FontSize=#FontSize#
Text=First line#CRLF#Second line#CRLF#Third line
InlineSetting=Size | (#FontSize#*1.2)
InlinePattern=\R

What we're doing here is adjusting the font size of newline characters. (#FontSize#*1.2) gives you a gap between each line of font height * 0.2.
