How to change spacing between a paragraph and the next subheading?

Questions

Hi everybody, I’m new to Typst and have a layout question:

image

As you can see in the image, the spacing above and below my list isn’t equal. I have #set par(spacing: 2em) so the spacing between paragraphs is 2 em. But this doesn’t apply to the space between a paragraph/list and the next subheading. How do I make this space (below the list) 2 em as well?

Thanks.

Hi again,

I fixed the spacing by putting #v(2em, weak: true) after the list.

If you don’t want to insert the spacing elements by hand all the time, you can also set the spacing around headings once via a show-set rule. You can then also filter them by level:

#show heading: set block(above: 2em, below: 1em)
#show heading.where(level: 1): set block(spacing: 2em) // both above and below

Note that when using em units here, they are relative to the heading’s font size, which is usually larger than the font size of the main text!
