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.

These commands hold text together on a single line:

@w{text}

Prevent text from being split and hyphenated across two lines.

@tie{}

Insert a normal interword space at which a line break may not occur.

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.
