- Yes, but each paragraph has a single baselinestretch. However, there is
- an arcane incantation needed before the changed baselinestretch has any
- effect:
-
- \renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1.333}\tiny\normalsize
-
- \baselinestretch isn't checked until there is a font change, but just
- \normalsize isn't enough because LaTeX is "smart" enough to see that that
- isn't a real change (if you are already at normal size).
-
- I think this is in the TeX FAQ sheet.
