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

question 1... manyvspace{30}

question 2... manyvspace{40}

question 3... manyvspace{40}

end{document}

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{}\

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.
