____________
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.
\\[*][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.
\-
The \-
command tells LaTeX that it may hyphenate the word at that
point. LaTeX is very good at hyphenating, and it will usually find all
correct hyphenation points. The \-
command is used for the
exceptional cases.
\cleardoublepage
The \cleardoublepage
command ends the current page and causes all
figures and tables that have so far appeared in the input to be printed.
In a two-sided printing style, it also makes the next page a right-hand
(odd-numbered) page, producing a blank page if necessary.
\clearpage
The \clearpage
command ends the current page and causes all figures
and tables that have so far appeared in the input to be printed.
\enlargethispage{size}
\enlargethispage*{size}
Enlarge the \textheight
for the current page by the specified amount;
e.g. \enlargethispage{\baselineskip}
will allow one additional line.
The starred form tries to squeeze the material together on the page as
much as possible. This is normally used together with an explicit
\pagebreak
.
\hyphenation{words}
The \hyphenation
command declares allowed hyphenation points, where
words is a list of words, separated by spaces, in which each
hyphenation point is indicated by a -
character.
\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.
\newline
The \newline
command breaks the line right where it is. The
\newline
command can be used only in paragraph mode.
\newpage
The `\newpage' command ends the current page.
\nolinebreak[number]
The \nolinebreak
command prevents LaTeX from breaking the current line
at the point of the command. With the optional argument, number, you
can convert the \nolinebreak
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.
\nopagebreak[number]
The \nopagebreak
command prevents LaTeX from breaking the current page
at the point of the command. With the optional argument, number, you
can convert the \nopagebreak
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.
\pagebreak[number]
The \pagebreak
command tells LaTeX to break the current page at the
point of the command. With the optional argument, number, you can
convert the \pagebreak
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.
