If you really feel the need %% to change the line separation, the most attractive results will be obtained by changing the %% leading in proportion to the the current font size, rather than just doubling the space. %% The setspace package provides a tool for changing line separation. Use these two commands here: % % \usepackage{setspace}% documentation at https://ctan.org/pkg/setspace % \setstretch{1.1}% you can choose some other value for the stretch of space between lines % %% Use one or more of the these commands *AFTER* the frontmatter % % \onehalfspacing % \doublespacing % \singlespacing % will turn these effects off (you can use these anywhere in the document) %% The best result is usually to stay with leading selected by the typographer who set up the font. %%%%%%%%%%% Metadata %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % Most of the document metadata is created automatically. % The following items should be adjusted to match your work. <================= !!!!!!!!!! \hypersetup{% pdfsubject={Template for writing MIT theses with the mitthesis class}, % Change this to briefly state topic of your thesis % pdfkeywords={Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT}, % Add keywords that will help search engines and libraries to find your work. % Includes the name[s] of the author[s] % (If you used \DocumentMetadata at line 14, you can just put "\CopyrightAuthor," for the names.) % pdfurl={}, % If you have a url for the thesis, put it here.
