row-gap
Baseline
Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since October 2017.
The row-gap CSS property sets the size of the gap (gutter) between an element's rows.
Early versions of the specification called this property grid-row-gap, and to maintain compatibility with legacy websites, browsers will still accept grid-row-gap as an alias for row-gap.
Try it
row-gap: 0;
row-gap: 1ch;
row-gap: 1em;
row-gap: 20px;
<section class="default-example" id="default-example">
<div class="example-container">
<div class="transition-all" id="example-element">
<div>One</div>
<div>Two</div>
<div>Three</div>
<div>Four</div>
<div>Five</div>
</div>
</div>
</section>
#example-element {
border: 1px solid #c5c5c5;

width: 200px;
}
#example-element > div {
