Latex: Insert vertical space after includegraphics

latex, space

Solution

You should try using `\vspace`. `\\` just adds newlines while `\vspace` adds vertical skips. Alternatively you could use `\smallskip`, `\medskip`, or `\bigskip`.

Problem

I'm using the `scrartcl` documentclass and try to insert some vertical space after including an image. ``` Lorem ipsum...\\\\ \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{image.png} % Add vertical space here Lorem ipsum... ``` Before the image I can just add like `\\\\` to add some space (which I don't like as well...), but I can't add these after the image because there is no line to end. Is there an option to add a margin before and after the image? I know that I could use figures, but I like the simple way of just adding one simple line of `\inludegraphics{blah}`
