mapBuilder :: (a -> b) -> Builder a -> Builder b

Map every element written in a Builder. This is useful if you have laid out bespoke elements, such as

mapBuilder boldStrings $ do
  div "lorem ipsum "
  str "dolor sit amet"

boldStrings s@(Str _) = Strong s
boldStrings a = a

It's also useful for creating custom pandoc builders. See tableWithColspec.

intersperseTablesWithBlankRows :: Builder Block -> Builder Block

Intersperse table with blank rows, this is useful for clarity (with some backends) when using multiline cells. This is exposed as a modifier, because there are already too many ways to construct a table.

vspace :: Builder Block

Vertical space - a paragraph containing a non-breaking space
