you can use vim to generate the text file and use 'pandoc' to convert the text file to something publishable, like a PDF. pandoc accepts options to manage paper and font size and line spacing. see '$ man pandoc' or pandoc.org

pandoc seems to have a new feature where you can use a bunch of metadata to manage the options mentioned, see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14883525/set-double-spacing-and-line-numbers-when-converting-from-markdown-to-pdf-with-pa#29643267 and its link to the 'YAML-header'

that way it looks a practical workaround in the beginning, but it neglects the basic separation between vim as the text _editor_ and any publishing tool. just take the learning curve using vim for creating (eg.) markdown text files and pandoc to handle the publishing part -- each program for it's own specialties. (besides AFAIK vim has no 'linespace', its just the way it's put on the screen most comfortable)

see 'pandoc'
