How can I insert vertical blank space into an html document?

Read up some on css, it's fun: http://www.w3.org/Style/Examples/007/units.en.html

<style>
  .bottom-three {
     margin-bottom: 3cm;
  }
</style>


<p class="bottom-three">
   This is the first question?
</p>
<p class="bottom-three">
   This is the second question?

While the above answers are probably best for this situation, if you just want to do a one-off and don't want to bother with modifying other files, you can in-line the CSS.

<p style="margin-bottom:3cm;">This is the first question?</p>

i always use this cheap word for vertical spaces.

    <p>Q1</p>
    <br>
    <p>Q2</p>

write it like this

p {
    padding-bottom: 3cm;
}

or

p {
    margin-bottom: 3cm;
}
