<?blockpadt>

Description

This command will apply padding to the top of a block.

Block padding is the border between the block rules and the block contents, and is essentially an extra block rule of no color and of the given width.

Specifying <?blockpad> as well as padding for an individual side will have a cumulative effect. To avoid this if required, when specifying padding on a single side it is possible to include an extra @ parameter which gives an absolute option, provided that the <?blockpad> was specified first.

Syntax

<?blockpadt @: width:um>

@	(optional) Add the width as an absolute value. If not specified any padding added by the <?blockpadt> will be added to that specified by any preceding <?blockbpad>.
width	The width of the padding, plus optional unit of measurement
