single-spacing
Lines touch directly
Single-spacing is the formatting of text with no extra space between lines—the default or minimum vertical distance in typing and word processing.
It contrasts with double-spacing, which leaves a blank line's worth of space between each line of text.
The professor required double-spacing, but I submitted it in single-spacing by mistake.
