title: How can I insert vertical blank space into an html document?
body: <p>I am writing a quiz in <code>html</code> and I would like to insert a consistent blank vertical space between questions (like one would use <code>vspace{3 cm}</code> in LaTeX).  </p>
  
  <p>For example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;html&gt;
    &lt;body&gt;
      &lt;p&gt;
       This is the first question?
        &lt;!-- this is where I want about 3 cm of space --&gt;
      &lt;/p&gt;
      &lt;p&gt; 
       This is the second question?
       &lt;!-- this is where I want about 3 cm of space --&gt;
      &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/body&gt;
  &lt;/html&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a straight forward way of doing this using just <code>html</code> and <code>css</code>?</p>
