+ ã|Description:ã%
+The \verticalspace markup creates blank lines (or space) on a page. 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 . . .

+ 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.
