Line spacing in epigram

[AndyF]

Dear all,

Any ideas for how to coerce the epigraph command in the epigraph
package to use single line spacing, when the default for the document
is one-and-a-half spacing? I've tried inserting the "\singlespace"
command in various places, but it has no effect.

Many thanks,

Andy

Try like this:

{\protect\singlespace Here cames your text}

Dear Bruno,

Thanks for your reply.

Nearly, very nearly! The first three lines in the following are
single spaced, after which 1.5 returns:

\epigraph{{\protect\singlespace This could be a poem,\\
Spanning multiple lines.\\
Protect singlespace works up 'til here---\\
Not here, alas, which makes me sigh.}}{Mildly Frustrated.}

The following doesn't work at all: 1.5 space the whole way (3 lines).

\epigraph{{\protect\singlespace This is a longer flowing piece of
text,
line breaks in which need not be manually coerced or
manipulated.
Protect singlespace does not work at all for this.}}{}

I FINALLY remembered that footnotes are single spaced in the style I
use. The code for that turned out to be comprehensible:

\let\tmp@footnotetext=\@footnotetext
\renewcommand{\@footnotetext}[1]%
{{\singlespace\tmp@footnotetext{#1}}}

Quick copy+paste+edit to:

\let\tmpepigraph=\epigraph
\renewcommand{\epigraph}[2]%
{{\singlespace\tmpepigraph{#1}{#2}}}

This appears to do the trick.
