double-spacing
Extra line breaks
Double-spacing is a formatting style where lines of text are separated by a full blank line, leaving twice the vertical space of single-spacing.
Standard in academic papers and manuscripts, it allows room for handwritten edits and improves readability: The professor requires double-spacing on all essays.
The verb double-space means to format text this way.
