Abbreviation: ã|\vsã%
Parameters: ã|units of measureã%
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.
