   `\\[*][extra-space]'

   The `\\' command tells LaTeX to start a new line.  It has an
optional argument, `extra-space', that specifies how much extra
vertical space is to be inserted before the next line.  This can be a
negative amount.

   The `\\*' command is the same as the ordinary `\\' command except
that it tells LaTeX not to start a new page after the line.
