Conversely, you may want to force a page break where none would normally occur. </p> <p>You can use the break, break prevention, or pagination commands to fix problematic line and page breaks. </p> <ul class="section-toc"> <li><a href="Break-Commands.html" accesskey="1">Break Commands</a></li> <li><a href="Line-Breaks.html" accesskey="2"><code>@*</code> and <code>@/</code>: Generate and Allow Line Breaks</a></li> <li><a href="_0040_002d-_0040hyphenation.html" accesskey="3"><code>@-</code> and <code>@hyphenation</code>: Helping TeX Hyphenate</a></li> <li><a href="_0040allowcodebreaks.html" accesskey="4"><code>@allowcodebreaks</code>: Control Line Breaks in <code>@code</code></a></li> <li><a href="_0040w.html" accesskey="5"><code>@w</code>{<var>text</var>}: Prevent Line Breaks</a></li> <li><a href="_0040tie.html" accesskey="6"><code>@tie{}</code>: Inserting an Unbreakable Space</a></li> <li><a href="_0040sp.html" accesskey="7"><code>@sp</code> <var>n</var>: Insert Blank Lines</a></li> <li><a href="_0040page.html" accesskey="8"><code>@page</code>: Start a New Page</a></li> <li><a href="_0040group.html" accesskey="9"><code>@group</code>: Prevent Page Breaks</a></li> <li><a href="_0040need.html"><code>@need <var>mils</var></code>: Prevent Page Breaks</a></li> </ul> </div> </body> </html>
