# Whitespace

You can add blank space anywhere via the **`.whitespace`** function  , which accepts optional `width` and `height` [Size](sizes.md#single-size-size) arguments.

- If you set neither argument, a simple whitespace character is rendered (` `), which is useful for adding blank lines.
- If you set at least one argument, a rectangle of that size is rendered. Note that this might not always work outside of [layout functions](stacks.md).
