### 19.15 `\vfill`

Synopsis:

    \vfill

End the current paragraph and insert a vertical rubber length that is infinite, so it can stretch or shrink as far as needed (see Lengths).

It is often used in the same way as `\vspace{\fill}`, except that `\vfill` ends the current paragraph whereas `\vspace{\fill}` adds the infinite vertical space below its line, irrespective of the paragraph structure. In both cases that space will disappear at a page boundary; to circumvent this see the starred option in \vspace.

In this example the page is filled, so the top and bottom lines contain the text ‘`Lost Dog!`’ and the second ‘`Lost Dog!`’ is exactly halfway between them.

    \begin{document}
    Lost Dog!
    \vfill
    Lost Dog!  % perfectly in the middle
    \vfill
    Lost Dog!
    \end{document}
