How to give a line more vertical space / height












4















How can I give one line in LaTeX more vertical height so that something like



frac{n^n}{{2}^{2n} * {n^n}^{2}}


displays correctly with the {2} getting enough space to look like it's above the top n in the denominator {n^n}^{2}.



Note that increasing line spacing doesn't work because LaTeX does not fill the space with the characters. (When I searched for this ability, this was all that came up.)

I think the denominator of your frac expression suffers from two issues:




  • a "cramped" look, i.e., the exponents are not raised much above the baseline

  • first- and second-order exponents are raised to (very nearly) the same height


How to remedy these issues?




  • To address the first issue, switch to "uncramped" mode -- see the ufrac macro below.



  • To remedy the second issue, I suggest you switch from {n^n}^2 to n^{n^2}. (The two forms are the same, mathematically speaking, but they are quite differnt from a typographic point of view.) That, or use parentheses to visually "enclose" the n^n term.



    Alternatively, consider switching from "standard" frac notation to inline-fraction notation.




Whatever else you do, please don't use the unnecessary * multiplication symbol. If you can't do without an explicit multiplication symbol, do use cdot, not *.
