Increase space between 2 lines in the richtextblock in the grid app template windows store app RRS feed

  • Question

  • Hello, 

    I am currently working on the a content application using the grid template in the VS 2012, and i wanted to increase the size of the text in the richtextblock in the ItemDetailPage.xaml, so i changed it from the StandardStyles.xaml.

    <!-- RichTextBlock styles -->
    
        <Style x:Key="BasicRichTextStyle" TargetType="RichTextBlock">
            <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{StaticResource ApplicationForegroundThemeBrush}"/>
            <Setter Property="FontSize" Value="25"/> <!--I changed this line-->
            <Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="{StaticResource ContentControlThemeFontFamily}"/>
            <Setter Property="TextTrimming" Value="WordEllipsis"/>
            <Setter Property="TextWrapping" Value="Wrap"/>
            <Setter Property="Typography.StylisticSet20" Value="True"/>
            <Setter Property="Typography.DiscretionaryLigatures" Value="True"/>
            <Setter Property="Typography.CaseSensitiveForms" Value="True"/>
        </Style>

    The problem now is as you see in the picture http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/getfile/319384, the lines are so close from each other, i want to increase the space between them.

  • Set some value to the LineHeight property of RichTextBlock like this:

    <Setter Property="LineHeight" Value="30"/>

  • I can see spaces increased between the line when i assign LineHeight in the Grid template.

    Possible for you to provide the XAML of the page or even share a sample on SkyDrive to explain the issue ?
