This +markup causes a break in text and leaves a specified amount of space within +a page. Any following text starts a new paragraph. The total amount of +white space left is the units of measure (dimension) in the \verticalspace, +plus the current paragraph skip value. This markup is followed by a +parameter, which can be entered in whole blank lines, inches, points, or +other valid units of measure. + + ã|Example:ã% +\verticalspace{24pt} + +{\bd Minerals and Human Behavior} +\verticalspace{1\bl} +"Does the Absurd dictate death?" asks Albert +Camus, a novelist who lionized the labors of . . . + ++-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +| | +| | +| | +| | +| Minerals and Human Behavior | +| | +| "Does the Absurd dictate death?" asks Albert Camus, a novelist who | +| lionized the labors of . . . | ++-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + + ã|Notes:ã% +You can tell TEXT1 you want a variable amount of white space between lines +by entering something line: + +\verticalspace{10pt plus 2pt minus 1pt} + +which tells TEXT1 you want 10 points of white space in addition to the +paragraph skip. If TEXT1 cannot balance text to the bottom of the page +when \normalbottom is in effect (which is the default), then the above +specification allows TEXT1 to add up to 2 points of white space or subtract +up to 1 point of white space from the 10 points of white space. + If you enter a \verticalspace markup at the top of a page it will be +ignored. Putting a \verticalspace at the bottom of a page is risky, also, +if the amount of space left on the page is less than the amount asked for. +The difference will not be carried over to the following page; it will be +lost. Both difficulties can be resolved by using a required space markup, +\verticalspacekeep. |
