vElement

Element functions can be customized with set and show rules.

Inserts vertical spacing into a flow of blocks.

The spacing can be absolute, relative, or fractional. In the last case, the remaining space on the page is distributed among all fractional spacings according to their relative fractions.

Example

#grid(
  rows: 3cm,
  columns: 6,
  gutter: 1fr,
  [A #parbreak() B],
  [A #v(0pt) B],
  [A #v(10pt) B],
  [A #v(0pt, weak: true) B],
  [A #v(40%, weak: true) B],
  [A #v(1fr) B],
)

Parameters

amount

relative or fraction

RequiredPositional

Positional parameters are specified in order, without names.

How much spacing to insert.

weak

bool

Settable

Settable parameters can be customized for all following uses of the function with a set rule.

Default: false

If true, the spacing collapses at the start or end of a flow. Moreover, from multiple adjacent weak spacings all but the largest one collapse. Weak spacings will always collapse adjacent paragraph spacing, even if the paragraph spacing is larger.

The following theorem is
foundational to the field:
#v(4pt, weak: true)
$ x^2 + y^2 = r^2 $
#v(4pt, weak: true)
The proof is simple:
