Adding Blank Vertical Space in LaTeX
Sometimes you just need some extra vertical space in a LaTeX document. There are a couple of simple ways to approach this. This first is the vspace command:
\vspace{5 mm}
This approach gives you a lot of flexibility because you can specify exactly how large you want the vertical space to be.
However, sometimes, you simply want a vertical line that is the same size as other lines in your document. An easy way to do this is to use the blankline command:
\blankline
Enjoy!
