vElement

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
Required Positional

How much spacing to insert.

weak
bool
Settable

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:
