vElement
Question mark

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],

Question mark

How much spacing to insert.

weak
bool
Settable
Question mark

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.

Default: false

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:
