Line height needs to be increased for better readability

[jancborchardt]

Long articles are like a wall of text:

The line height needs to be increased a bit. Line height should usually be about 150% of the font size. For reference, check out Wikipedia or good old books. :)

How about making settings like this user adjustable? ;-)

Hm.. okay. You're talking about the Item-Detail View right? It would be possible to change it easily but every feed offers it's own css styles. But it's no problem to override them ;)

@phedlund I think this is not a good idea. The app has already a lot of options and when users go to the settings menu and there are 50 options to setup, they go back because they don't want to read them all. Or?

Sorry about my comment, it was more directed toward @jancborchardt for his somewhat contradictory issue at owncloud/news-iOS-App#21.

On the other hand I do find a settings panel like this extremely useful:

I've increased the line-height to 1,5em. It's the same height which wikipedia uses on their website.

@David-Development cool, thanks!

@phedlund I don’t see how this is contradictory at all. In fact, it’s the same purpose: Provide one proper reading style and typography. People should not even be able to configure a suboptimal line height like 120% or less, or 180% or more. It simply destroys the reading flow.
