\linebreak
& \nolinebreak
Synopses, one of:
\linebreak \linebreak[zero-to-four]
or one of these.
\nolinebreak \nolinebreak[zero-to-four]
Encourage or discourage a line break. The optional zero-to-four
is an integer that allows you to soften the instruction. The default is
4, so that without the optional argument these commands entirely force
or prevent the break. But for instance, \nolinebreak[1]
is a
suggestion that another place may be better. The higher the number, the
more insistent the request. Both commands are fragile
(see \protect).
Here we tell LaTeX that a good place to put a linebreak is after the standard legal text.
\boilerplatelegal{} \linebreak[2] We especially encourage applications from members of traditionally underrepresented groups.
When you issue \linebreak
, the spaces in the line are stretched
out so that it extends to the right margin. See \\
and \newline to have the spaces not stretched out.
