Ah, sorry. It was a foolish oversight of mine. The point is that a \vspace after a line break in normal text has no effect. This does work: lorem ipsum\\ \vspace*{10ex}\\ dolor but it's a dirty workaround. In addition, there are more problems that I had not noticed. If it is normal text, LaTeX indents the first line. A \parindent=0 should be added, but that means complicating things unnecessarily... I think the best thing is to rethink the :literal attribute, as I commented at the end of my other email: - without :literal --> verse environment with a more "canonical" syntax. - with :literal --> verse environment seen in the "old (org) style", preserving the blank lines. In that context \vspace does work. -- Juan Manuel Macías https://juanmanuelmacias.com https://lunotipia.juanmanuelmacias.com https://gnutas.juanmanuelmacias.com
