Feature request: Line spacing about org-reveal

[yjwen]

Hi,
You can specify the line spacing in CSS, either by modifying the Reveal.js CSS file, or by specifying a custom CSS in the Org file. Say you have a org file line_spacing.org and a CSS file line_spacing.css in the same dir. The contents of the two files are as below:

line_spacing.org:

#+OPTIONS: toc:nil
#+REVEAL_EXTRA_CSS: ./line_spacing.css

* Line Spacing Examples

  Specify line spacing for paragraphs in custom CSS file. For example,
  ~.reveal p {line-height: 3}~ will set line height 3 times of font height,
  accross the whole Reveal.js presentation

  * ~.reveal .org-ul {line-height: 2}~ in css
  * For list items

line_spacing.css:

.reveal p {
    line-height: 3;
}
.reveal .org-ul {
    line-height: 2;
}

Then you can modify the line spacing of paragraphs across the whole presentation by changing the value for entry line-height in the first selector, .reveal p, and the line spacing of unordered list items by the same entry in the second selector, .reveal .org-ul.

Please refer to the CSS specification, http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_dim_line-height.asp, for other ways of setting line spacing.

Thanks for your detailed answer - just thought there might be something like that built into org-reveal (customizable in .el) and undocumented. I see that with all the .css options out there, this approach is far better and less work...

Found this issue after noting that nothing I tried had any effect, e.g. using a custom CSS file to sett padding and margin as in this SE answer had no effect:

li { margin: 0; padding: 0em; }

The correct usage is instead

.reveal li { margin: 0; padding: 0em}
