Answer 2

I know this is old and there are several good solutions already posted, but a simple solution that worked for me is the following CSS

<style>
  .divider{
    margin: 0cm 0cm .5cm 0cm;
  }
</style>

and then create a div in your html

<div class="divider"></div>

Answer 3

I tried using <div class="control-group"> and it did not change my layout. It did not add vertical space. The solution that worked for me was:

<ol style="visibility:hidden;"></ol>

If that doesn't give you enough vertical space, you can incrementally get more by adding nested <li>&nbsp;</li> tags.

Answer 4

Wrapping works but when you just want a space, I like:

<div class="col-xs-12" style="height:50px;"></div>

Answer 5

There is nothing more DRY than

.btn {
    margin-bottom:5px;
}

Answer 6

For version 3 there doesn't appear to be "bootstrap" way to achieve this neatly.

A panel, a well and a form-group all provide some vertical spacing.

A more formal specific vertical spacing solution is, apparently, on the roadmap for bootstrap v4
