Line & Page Breaking
====================

   The first thing LaTeX does when processing ordinary text is to
translate your input file into a string of glyphs and spaces.  To
produce a printed document, this string must be broken into lines, and
these lines must be broken into pages.  In some environments, you do the
line breaking yourself with the `\\' command, but LaTeX usually does it
for you.

\\
Start a new line.
\- (hyphenation)
Insert explicit hyphenation.
\cleardoublepage
Start a new right-hand page.
\clearpage
Start a new page.
\enlargethispage
Enlarge the current page a bit.
\fussy
Be fussy about line breaking.
\hyphenation
Tell LaTeX how to hyphenate a word.
\linebreak
Break the line.
\newline
Break the line prematurely.
\newpage
Start a new page.
\nolinebreak
Don't break the current line.
\nopagebreak
Don't make a page break here.
\pagebreak
Please make a page break here.
\sloppy
Be sloppy about line breaking.
