Split vertical spacing in two continuity pages












0















I want to construct a macro named vs which typeset a constant vertical spacing, e.g. vs{40em} will get 40em height of white spacing. I know there are many ways -- vskip, vspace, etc... -- to achieve this. But, all these methods fail if encountering pagebreak, as shown in my attached figure produced by the following MWE. Anyone can help me with this?



MWE:



documentclass{article}

usepackage{geometry}

geometry{showframe}



begin{document}

some text.vskip10em

question 1...vskip40em

question 2...vskip40em

question 3...vskip40em

end{document}

          If you want that the space can be splitted and be in part on one page and in part on the next, you could try a loop with small chunks. E.g.



          documentclass{article}
          
usepackage{geometry}
          
geometry{showframe}
          
usepackage{xparse}
          
ExplSyntaxOn
          
NewDocumentCommandmanyvspace { m }
          
 {
          
  par
          
  int_step_inline:nn{#1}{vspace*{1em}goodbreak}
          
 }
          
ExplSyntaxOff 
          
begin{document}
          
some text.vskip10em

            Simply use the * form:



            vspace*{4cm}


            This answers the question in the title, although looking at your sketch example code, I would have thought you always wanted a question title above the space in which case the space should never fall at the top of the page so dropping space at that point should not be an issue.



            Following further comments it seems you don't really want space at all but rather a white paragraph of (say) 5 lines, which may be broken over a page, for which you can do



            section*{Some title}
            
mbox{}\
            
mbox{}\
            
mbox{}\
            
mbox{}\
            
mbox{}
            

            

            
section*{Some other title}
            
mbox{}\
            
mbox{}\

            • @lyl vspace* will make space at the top of the page if a page break happens befpre it. If you mean that you want 40em of space allows a blank in the middle then that is a different question with a different answer. mbox{}\mbox{}\mbox{}\mbox{}par will make 4 lines of "space" that can have a page break in the middle.

                    Simply use the * form:



                    vspace*{4cm}


                    This answers the question in the title, although looking at your sketch example code, I would have thought you always wanted a question title above the space in which case the space should never fall at the top of the page so dropping space at that point should not be an issue.



                    Following further comments it seems you don't really want space at all but rather a white paragraph of (say) 5 lines, which may be broken over a page, for which you can do



                    section*{Some title}
                    
mbox{}\
                    
mbox{}\
                    
mbox{}\
                    
mbox{}\
                    
mbox{}
                    

                    

                    
section*{Some other title}
                    
mbox{}\
                    
mbox{}\

                    • Following your suggest, I replace vskip40em with vspace*{40em) , but get a typeset which is not my desire. I just want the vertical spacing can cross pages, that is to say, the top position of the next page can also white blanked.

                    • @lyl vspace* will make space at the top of the page if a page break happens befpre it. If you mean that you want 40em of space allows a blank in the middle then that is a different question with a different answer. mbox{}\mbox{}\mbox{}\mbox{}par will make 4 lines of "space" that can have a page break in the middle.

                    A CLEAN and SIMPLE way to add appendices to Table of Contents and bookmarks

                    Image
                    0 I found a lot of questions abount appendices and ToC. Many users want appendices to be grouped in an Appendix part, however some problems arise with ToC, hyperref, PDF viewer bookmarks, and so on. There are different solutions which require extra packages, command patching and other extra code, however none of them satisfies me. I almost found an easy way to accomplish a good result, where appendices are added to bookmarks in the right way and hyperref links point to the right page. However, the number of the "Appendix" part page is wrong (it's the number of appendix A). Is there any EASY way to fix that? This is a MWE: documentclass{book} usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind} usepackage{hyperref} begin{document} frontmatter tableofcontents mainmatter part{First} chapter{
