Break Commands
==============

  The break commands create or allow line and paragraph breaks:

`@*'
     Force a line break.

`@sp N'
     Skip N blank lines.

`@-'
     Insert a discretionary hyphen.

`@hyphenation{HY-PHEN-A-TED WORDS}'
     Define hyphen points in HY-PHEN-A-TED WORDS.

  The line-break-prevention command holds text together all on one line:

`@w{TEXT}'
     Prevent TEXT from being split and hyphenated across two lines.

  The pagination commands apply only to printed output, since Info
files do not have pages.

`@page'
     Start a new page in the printed manual.

`@group'
     Hold text together that must appear on one printed page.

`@need MILS'
     Start a new printed page if not enough space on this one.
