School-style handwriting ruling
Four lines make three spaces: ascenders, x-height, descenders. About 3 mm between lines matches many workbooks; bump it up for beginners. For Chinese characters, switch to tian zi ge.

Classic third-space ruling: two dashed midline guides so lowercase letters sit on the x-height. Spacing and row count are adjustable.

FAQ
What are the four lines for?
The top line caps tall letters (b, d, h). The middle band is the x-height (a, c, e). The bottom line catches descenders (g, y, p). Dashed inner lines make that easier to see.
