Ah, sorry. It was a foolish oversight of mine. The point is that a
\vspace after a line break in normal text has no effect. This does work:

lorem ipsum\\
\vspace*{10ex}\\
dolor

but it's a dirty workaround. In addition, there are more problems that I
had not noticed. If it is normal text, LaTeX indents the first line. A
\parindent=0 should be added, but that means complicating things
unnecessarily...

I think the best thing is to rethink the :literal attribute, as I
commented at the end of my other email:

- without :literal --> verse environment with a more "canonical" syntax.

- with :literal --> verse environment seen in the "old (org) style",
  preserving the blank lines. In that context \vspace does work.
