\linebreak
----------

   `\linebreak[number]'

   The `\linebreak' command tells LaTeX to break the current line at
the point of the command.  With the optional argument, `number', you
can convert the `\linebreak' command from a demand to a request.  The
number must be a number from 0 to 4.  The higher the number, the more
insistent the request is.

   The `\linebreak' command causes LaTeX to stretch the line so it
extends to the right margin.
