Here is my working example. When I add pictures and mathematical formulas, everything looks much worse. The more complicated is content, the less aligned are lines.

@TorbjørnT. Possibly: I've tried to explain that this problem is really not fundementally solved
@TorbjørnT. I suspect the user won't be happy with what we can say: grid setting is at best limited in TeX (perhaps with the exception of xor), and simply 'add vertical space' won't actually work
@JosephWright well it's more xgalley really, if you never allow anyone to put anything on the main vertical list and you never put any stretchy space there you can control the grid, but it was always hard to test the code as it basically breaks evrything:-)
@PauloCereda Do you have a microphone powerful enough to pick up conversations in japan from oxford? oh UK TUG, that's easier:)
This has bugged me for a while. Are there any packages/templates/methodologies for effectively creating flyers in LaTeX?
Just in case there's some ambiguity in my terminology, I'm looking to create single-page, letter-sized pamphlets/posters, posted to advertise events.
Any ideas?
I wish to know how to set the following:
height of a text line in paragraph (is it fontsize?)
height of space between text lines in paragraph (\baselineskip - fontsize?)
height of space before and after a paragraph
height of a text line in section/chapter/part name
height of space between text ...
@egreg The user is clearly frustrated as they expect just to tick a 'gird on' box, or find a list of all design lengths. I guess both of those are things I'd like in LaTeX3, but LaTeX2e doesn't work that way. Even then, grid setting may not be possible with TeX in a truely general sense.
@JosephWright Thanks for coming in. But the temptation of saying "use Scribus or the- program-I-don't-mention-the-name-of" remains.
@JosephWright No, it isn't. ConTeXt has advances in that direction; possibly LuaTeX can do it, but the problem with too high or too deep lines is unsolvable in grid typesetting.
@JosephWright well if you never put anything on the main vertical list the final document will have no items off the grid. So in some sense it has to be key. But people mean different things wrt displays whether they allow arbitrary position of the display so long as the following text snaps back to the grid, or if the display itself has to align (it's not clear what the latter means for math of text with different font size0
@JosephWright I believe it's not possible with standard (e-)TeX. No attempt has been successful, up to now; this is not a proof of impossibility, of course, but strong evidence towards it.
@JosephWright for a graphic you need to snap the text above and below to the grid, but the graphic itself you have a choice of aligning its base on the grid or just positioning the whole thing between the aligned points.
@percusse Since you weren't around yesterday when I posted it, I draw your attention to the starred link of mine, which I think would appeal to you. :)
@PauloCereda Cristina's mother keeps on sending us more, so we have about 4kg of it at home. Luckily it doesn't go bad, 'cause that's a whole lot of goiabada to eat.
@AlanMunn well it needs one (I can't remember which it used) it was a wysiwyg-ish editor that hooked up to tex for typesetting and maple (then I think mupad later) for symbolic computation.
@AlanMunn one nice thing it did have was a wysiwyg class designer interface (they had a highly parameterised latex class but you could set the parameters by dragging things around if I recall correctly
@DavidCarlisle Ok, that's probably all I need to know. My thesis class loads etex and someone is complaining that it isn't found. But surely most standard distributions should have it.
@JosephWright: My delete vote on Herbert's answer was cast prematurely. I don't know what went wrong with the OP, but if he properly downloaded spconf.sty, his solution works...
@egreg yes I think in 2.09 it was edef I changed it to protected@edef (which didn't really exist in 2.09 ) but otherwise it's as it was (II also added the trick ifnum balancing that \or and \and do)
@PauloCereda don't really know too much about the current tabs, my original galaxy tab 10.1 has had no problems but it's over 2 years old now, I had a quick look at the reviews this summer but the nexus 7 came top of several lists so we just got that and I didn't look at too many others
@DavidCarlisle The real problem here is the price. Brazil has a long history on overpriced electronics, and we usually get the old models. :( Nexus 7 would be here at an affordable price, but then Google and Asus had a terrible fight. Only a few models were sold by Asus just to get rid of the ones in stock. Personally, I'm not inclined to get a Samsung, and an iPad (full or mini) is very expensive, so an Android tablet would be better right now (besides I'll cyanogenmod it anyway). :P
Is there a cite style for biblatex that will give me just author, journal (year) as the citation? There probably is a post here that shows how to customize, but I couldn't find it in a search...
@percusse Percusse I thin there is already an answer using leaflet in the question. But my code has more tweaks. I am not sure whther it will duplicate that answer. Thanks for the suggestion :-)
@AlanMunn I don't like that style. But I'm pretty sure that makebst can produce it. I guess it's possible with biblatex, although I don't know about styles that do like that.
@AlanMunn I need just for articles. It's for a beamer presentation that I'm making, and the audience consists of people in the field, so "Doe, J. Appl. Foo. (2012)" is sufficient for all to know what I'm referring to.
@egreg Yeah, this is what I've done now... I was mainly curious, since with biblatex and authoryear-icomp style, I almost get what I want (except for the journal title)
