leading – Define leading with a length
The package defines a command \leading, whose argument is a <length> that specifies the nominal distance between consecutive baselines of typeset text. The command replaces the rather more difficult LaTeX command \linespread{<ratio>}, where the leading is specified by reference to the font size.
